The representative of the Indonesian National Agency for Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters Sutopo Purvo Nugroho noted that the eruption began at the very peak.
More than 120 thousand inhabitants have already left the island, they also plan to evacuate the same number on the following days.
The likelihood that the volcano will begin its eruption is almost one hundred percent, but climatologists can not give an accurate prediction about the beginning of the eruption.
If this process begins, then tons of volcanic ash will cause frosts, which is fraught with an ecological disaster for the island.
The volcanic eruptions themselves can cause additional seismic activity.
As reported in the "URA-Inform", recently in Bali because of the volcano, evacuated 35 thousand people.
