Mount Dukono, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, erupted on February 20, 2025, sending a massive ash cloud into the sky. The eruption prompted authorities in Indonesia to issue an orange-level aviation warning, advising aircraft to avoid the area due to the risks posed by volcanic ash. Indonesia, being home to numerous active volcanoes, faces continuous volcanic threats, and Mount Dukono is one of the country’s most persistent sources of volcanic activity. This eruption serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges Indonesia faces due to its geographical location on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
