Sept. 28 (UPI) -- As Indonesia's Mount Agung volcano threatens to erupt, an alert was raised to the highest level and more than 120,000 people have evacuated, officials said.
The volcano, on the island of Bali less than 50 miles from the resort of Kuta, showed unprecedented levels of internal seismic activity this week. Tremors, and the emission of steam and smoke, have been noted at the 9,444-foot mountain, which is one of over 100 volcanoes in Indonesia.
