After a brief eruption period in 2010, the dormant volcano, Mount Sinabung of Sumatra, Indonesia has been erupting continuously since September 2013 with most commonly ash plumes and periodic pyroclastic flows and lahars. The current restricted zone is a 7 km zone around the active summit with villages within 3 km of the volcano destroyed by lava. The August 2nd eruption of Mount Sinabung is thought to be the largest eruption since activity began in 2013.
