JAKARTA, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's Mount Marapi spewed volcanic materials during its eruption on Sumatra Island, Indonesia.

The volcano spewed ash as high as 3,000 meters into the sky on Dec. 3 as 75 people hiked in the area. Scores were rescued, but 23 people were found dead.

Straddled in the provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java, the 2,968-meter volcano is at the third level of danger. The potential dangers of this mountain are lava avalanches and hot clouds.
