Api Siau
Karangetang (also known as Api Siau) is a volcano on the north side of Siau Island off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The island is inhabited by 22,000 people. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia having erupted 41 times since 1675. A pyroclastic flow in 1997 killed three people. Current activity In August 2007 an eruptive episode forced evacuations from nearby areas. On 9 June 2009 the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia raised the eruption alert status of Karangetang to Level Orange. On 6 August 2010 Karangetang again erupted, spewing lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air. Four villagers are missing. On 11 March 2011, a few hours after an earthquake in Japan caused a Pacific-wide tsunami, Mount Karangetang again erupted. There were no reports of serious damage or deaths, though lava and hot gas clouds were emitted onto its slopes. On September 2, 2013, the volcano began erupting again. There was another spell of activity from November 2018 onwards ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Siau Scops Owl
The Siau scops owl (''Otus siaoensis'') is a critically endangered owl species. They live on Siau Island, north of Sulawesi, Indonesia and are (were) forest dwellers. The species is only known from a single holotype from 1866 although there have been some local reports in recent years. Even so, their habitat is being lost to excessive logging of the forest on the island and there would be very few if any individuals left. The taxonomic arrangement for this owl has not been fully worked out. While recognized as a distinct species by the International Ornithologists' Union, IOC, others consider it as a subspecies of either the Sulawesi scops owl or Moluccan scops owl.
