Indonesia volcano: Tourists stranded in Bali as international flights cancelled

Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a volcano on Indonesia's remote island of Flores, has been erupting repeatedly since the beginning of the month. As a result, several international airlines have cancelled flights to and from the country's resort island of Bali, leaving travellers stranded at airports. The ash column from the volcano, which is in the East Nusa Tenggara province, has reached heights as high as 10 kilometres. Meanwhile, authorities have expanded the danger zone around the volcano to nine kilometres, as volcanic fragments — including smoldering rocks, lava and gravel — have been thrown from the crater. The initial eruption on Nov. 4 killed nine people and injured dozens more. Indonesia is prone to earthquakes, landslides and volcanic activity as it sits along the “ring of fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
