In 2017, it is estimated that the minimum number of Chinese people in Bali seldom go to travel, because it seems that the day of volcanic eruption is getting closer and closer! Recently, the white smoke from the Argonne volcano in Bali, Indonesia, has become more and more thick, and more than 144000 local people have evacuated. At an altitude of 3000 meters, the Argonne volcano may erupt at any time. The volcano is only 75 kilometers away from Kuta and semiyak, two major tourist areas in Bali.
It is reported that Argonne volcano erupted in 1963, and since the middle of August this year, the crater is rumbling again, or will be the precursor of eruption.
Indonesia volcano geological risk observation center said that from the night of 28 to the noon of 29, 165 earthquakes were detected in the area, and new white smoke was also emitted from the crater. Clouds 50-200m high above the mountain top contain sulfuric acid vapor.
Kasbani, the head of the Indonesian Observatory, said the possibility of a volcanic eruption is now greater than the opposite. Gede suadikan, another volcanologist, said that for three days, sulfuric acid vapor from the crater was thicker than at the beginning of the month, suggesting that things were changing. He added that the amount of steam emitted from the crater on the 29th was equivalent to the smoke emitted from a factory's chimney, so the possibility of eruption was greater.
