Indonesian volcano erupts more than 50 times 20141525642397734_20

Indonesian authorities have extended a danger zone around a rumbling volcano in the country's west after it erupted more than 50 times, spewing blistering gas farther than expected.

The eruptions on Saturday sent searing lava streaming out of Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra province and down the southeastern slopes up to 5km away.

"This outpour is the biggest we've seen in all the recent eruptions," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency.

Amazingly, no deaths have been reported:
