Volcano erupts in Indonesia
A volcano erupted near a village in North Sumatra, Indonesia, killing at least seven people and blasting clouds of volcanic ash two miles into the air, AP reports. The eruption of Mount Sinabung — perhaps the first of more eruptions to come, one official warned – unleashed a hellish scene on the Sumatran village of Gamber Sunday, with scenes reminiscent of Pompei. Mount Sinabung is among more than 120 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
