The alert status for Mount Soputan in Indonesia has been raised to the third highest level on their four-level system after beginning a minor eruption on Monday.
The region around the volcano is relatively uninhabited, with the closest villages at least 5 miles away. Still, residents were warned to stay a safe distance from the volcano.
The Soputan stratovolcano is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes.

Here are some satellite images of the Soputan volcano with eruptions from the past. These images are from the NASA ASTER volcano archive. They have a pretty neat tool that lets you browse the world's volcanoes via Google Maps.
There are also some impressive eruption photos of Soputan on flickr, but most of them are from last year's activity.
That's crazy about these eruption and it's the third highest level. How can people survive?
