Indonesia is home to thousands of islands, many of which feature some of the most active volcanoes in the world. On June 17, the Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano in south-central Indonesia erupted, leading authorities to raise the alert level to its highest point. The Indonesian Geological Agency reported that the volcano emitted thick gray clouds reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters (32,800 feet) on Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said that they had observed an increase in volcanic activity before the eruption, with 50 events occurring in just two hours, compared to the usual daily range of 8 to 10 activities.
