Volcanic ash emits steam on a channel near the slope of Mount Merapi in the Sleman district on November 3, 2010. Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano exploded in a frightening new eruption of lava and red-hot rocks on November 3, sparking panic and forcing the government to order new evacuations. Scientists said the 2,914-metre (9,616-foot) mountain in central Java erupted with more force than last week's blasts that killed 36 people, spewing huge clouds of searing gas into the sky.
