Yes — Mount Lewotolo’s activity has been noticeable in recent years, with eruptions and increased volcanic signs recorded by scientists. According to monitoring reports, the volcano’s alert level has risen at times, meaning officials have seen more seismic activity and emissions from the crater. These alerts often come with warnings to avoid the volcano’s summit and nearby areas because of ash, hot rocks, or other hazards. Activity can include explosions that throw ash columns into the air and cause rumbling noises that local villagers hear. Experts use tools to track earthquakes and gas emissions to predict how intense activity might become. Even when there’s no major eruption, the volcano can still emit smoke or small ash bursts. This kind of ongoing activity keeps local authorities and scientists on high alert.
