Meanwhile, a monitoring body issued a warning to airlines of an ash cloud rising up to 50,000 ft. ThoriqulHaq.
The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in Darwin, Australia said the ash appeared to have detached from the summit and was drifting southwest over the Indian Ocean. The VAAC provides advice to the aviation industry about the location and movement of potentially hazardous volcanic ash. Mt Semeru was quite an active volcano that regularly spewed ash up to about1500 ft, so Saturday's eruption was a pretty significant increase in intensity.
