Bali flights cancelled due to dangerous volcanic ash
Bali's airport has been closed and flights have been cancelled after a volcano on the Indonesian island erupted, spewing ash and smoke into the air.
The eruption of Mount Agung began on Sunday and has continued to spew ash and smoke into the air, causing disruption to air travel.
The airport in Denpasar, Bali's main city, has been closed since Monday and all flights have been cancelled.
The closure of the airport is causing disruption to tourists and businesses on the island.
The eruption of Mount Agung is a reminder of the dangers posed by volcanoes in Indonesia.
Indonesia is home to more than 17,000 islands and is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped region around the Pacific Ocean that is home to many volcanoes and earthquakes.
The eruption of Mount Agung is the latest in a series of volcanic eruptions in Indonesia in recent years.
In 2010, the eruption of Mount Merapi in central Java killed more than 300 people.
In 2015, the eruption of Mount Sinabung in northern Sumatra killed more than 100 people.
The Indonesian government is urging people to stay away from the area around Mount Agung.
The government has also set up evacuation centers for people who have been forced to leave their homes.
The eruption of Mount Agung is a reminder of the importance of being prepared for natural disasters.
