Glowing avalanche from Merapi two days ago (video screenshot)
The eruption at the volcano continues at relatively intense levels. Maga rising to the summit crater accumulates as a dome that overspills the half-open summit crater to the southern and southeastern flanks, generating frequent incandescent avalanches and turbulent hot pyroclastic flows.
In the past 24 hours, the volcano produced 16 avalanches that reached up to 1,800 m length on the southern slope, traveling mainly through the Bebeng river, according to a local newspaper citing information from the Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG).
