Eruption Indonesia's Mount Lokon Volcano exploded with an
eruption of ash and volcanic debris that rained down over a wide
area of North Sulawesi Province, including the provincial capital
of Manado. The erupting volcano also produced a 400-meter fountain
of lava and also triggered a series of volcanic tremors. Mount
Lokon is one of Indonesia's 79 most active volcanoes, and has
already erupted three times so far this year. SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2001
