Indonesia's Mount Merapi erupted on Saturday with avalanches of searing gas clouds and lava, forcing authorities to halt tourism and mining activities.

 

Merapi, on the densely populated island of Java, unleashed clouds of hot ash and a mixture of rock, lava and gas that travelled up to seven kilometres down its slopes.

A column of hot clouds rose 100 metres into the air, according to National Disaster Management Agency spokesperson Abdul Muhari.
