BI: An ash cloud forced Bali’s Denpasar Airport to close on Monday.
International flights were cancelled following an eruption by Mount Agung on Saturday evening and a further three eruptions on Sunday.
59,000 passengers on 445 cancelled flights — including 196 international flights — have been affected, the airport said in a statement.
Indonesia’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency said Denpasar Airport is closed for 24 hours and authorities would consider reopening it Tuesday after evaluating the situation.
Ash has been confirmed on the ground at Denpasar Airport, according to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology.
The weekend’s volcanic eruptions sent ash 13,000 feet (4,000 metres) into the atmosphere, and created plumes as high as 3.7 miles (6,000 metres), Reuters reported. more here
You can clearly see an angry tribal-like face coming out of that ashen cloud.
59,000 people> really?
Somebody is going to have to shut that thing down until they calculate and report the carbon footprint, then someone will have to pay algore a fortune.
Had no idea where that is. Glad to hear they are in the news, now I will learn about the area.
If I can’t remember or never knew an area of the world I read about it.
If you dump cement down the volcano you can seal it.
