Indonesia's Mount Sinabung continued erupting yesterday, two days after it sprang back into life after over 400 years of inactivity.
30,000 people were evacuated to emergency shelters, as the volcano spewed smoke and ash several kilometres into the air. Thousands have since returned to the area, despite the risk of further eruptions.
The volcano, in the Karo Regency of North Sumatra, had not been closely monitored because it was believed to be relatively safe.
