A series of eruptions in October and November 2010 produced pyroclastic flows and lahars (volcanic mud flows). Thought to be the largest eruptions here since the 1870s,over 350,000 people from villages and towns in the area were evacuated,and around 350 died. The volcano is seen here from the village of Kinahrejo. Photographed in March 2011 | |
