The pictures look amazing as a nature's phenomenon, but also scary. There is a five km no-go-zone around here to prevent loss in case of severe volcanic activity. The volcanic mountain erupted in 2010 after a gap of 400 years. It had caused damage back in 2016 when it erupted. This year, the activity comes after a spell of a year.
