Mount Agung, a volcano on Bali, erupted over the weekend, sending a thick ash cloud into the sky over the Indonesian island and grounding thousands of travelers. 。
The latest eruption sent ash more than 1.2 miles, or 2,000 meters, into the air on Sunday, Bali's Regional Disaster Management Agency told CNN. The volcanic ash plume following the eruption reached an altitude of more than 4.7 miles and activity is still ongoing. The eruptions marked the first major activity from Mount Agung since 1963, though there is still the threat of an even bigger eruption to come. 。

More than half of those who evacuated were advised to return home in October as activity decreased, Indonesian authorities told 。
