snowy volcano action
volcano erupt underneath the ice, amazing video
on the indonesian island of java, the merapi volcano has once again become active.
twelve years ago, when the merapi last erupted, 60 people lost their lives. now, to prevent it from happening again, the government has declared a red alert. thousands of people were loaded into busses and taken to emergency shelters.
others, however, decided to go in the opposite direction, wanting to see the eruption for themselves. the police had to set up road blocks to stop the onlookers from getting too close to the volcano.
some farmers have refused to leave their houses, saying they want to protect their homes and livestock. others have returned to tend to their land and animals, but have been warned by the police to leave before nightfall.
the merapi volcano lies 450 kilometers (250 miles) from the capital jakarta. it is part of the so-called pacific "ring of fire", fault lines that feed volcanoes stretching from the western hemisphere through japan and into southeast asia.
super volcanoes, be afraid be very afraid. "yellowstone is much larger than any other volcanic feature in north america," says geophysicist bob smith of the yellowstone volcano observatory and the university of utah. "people don't realize this."
(ap) the chaiten volcano spewed lava and blasted ash more than 12 miles into the sky on tuesday, prompting officials to order a total evacuation of nearby area. president michelle bachelet interrupted a speech in the capital to announce that "the volcano is exploding so a total evacuation of the town of chaiten has been ordered." chaiten is just 6 miles from the volcano in southern chile. more than 4,000 people had fled earlier and the few remaining were being transferred to two navy ships. palena province gov. fernando aguilar said some people were resisting, but "everybody must leave." the volcano's five-day eruption already has sent a column of ash streaming across the narrow southern stretch of the continent and over the atlantic. carmen fernandez, head of the government's emergency bureau, said the final evacuation covers 300 people, including police, soldiers, emergency personnel, a few reporters and some residents. fernandez said the amount of lava emerging from the volcano "is very small and very thick, so it is moving very slowly." lc: static electricity erupts from a giant cloud of ash, gas, and magma
