YOGYAKARTA - The Mount Merapi volcano is currently showing signs of cooling down somewhat, especially compared to the deadly eruption it caused one week ago. During that eruption, huge amounts of ash were exhausted and almost 200 people died. The volcano is still very active however, and is also still exhausting hot ash clouds.
The most recent pyroclastic cloud dates from around one in the afternoon local time and reached heights op to 800 meters. The cloud came rolling down the slopes of the volcano in the direction of the Gendol river and reached a distance of about four kilometers. It is not amazing that the alert-status of the volcano still is the highest possible; in eruption.
The volcano also still produces volcanic tremors regularly and lava can be seen flowing from it's crater as well. This already happened ten times today. In the mean while, rescue workers are still entering the danger zones in the search for victims. Earlier today, nine bodies were recovered from the area around Cangkringan. The heavy eruption from last week caused most deadly victims in this area.
