Sinabung is around 47 miles south-west of Kualanamu International Airport in Medan.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Reuters, a spokesman for Indonesia\u2019s National Disaster Mitigation Agency said a four-mile exclusion zone had been set up around the crater, and that the public are being asked to watch out for weather warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Sinabung\u2019s most destructive eruption occurred in 2014, killing more than a dozen people and displacing thousands of others. The volcano had been thought to be dormant, having last erupted around four hundred years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Agung, on the island of Bali to the south, has also been active for a number of months. Indonesia sits on the Ring of Fire, a 40,000km horseshoe-shaped area covering the circumference of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\">RT News<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>                            \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                 &#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2018\/02\/no_author\/armageddon-ash-cloud\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explosive volcano spews debris 7km into skies RT News February 21, 2018 &#13; &#13; &#13; A volcanic eruption on the island of Sumatra has thrown a colossal ash cloud into the sky above western Indonesia.
