Kelud Volcano Mountain

Kelud Mountain (often called Kelut which means "broom" in Javanese; in Dutch called Klut, Cloot, Kloet, or Kloete) is a volcano in East Java province, Indonesia, which is still active. The mountain is located on the border between Kediri District and Blitar regency, about 27 km east of downtown Kediri.
Kelud activity
Since the 15th century, Kelud victims had eaten more than 15,000 people. This eruption in 1586 claimed more victims than 10,000 inhabitants. [1] A system to divert the flow of lava has been made extensively in 1926 and still functioning until now after the explosion in 1919 took the victim to the thousands of lives in floods sweeping settlement of cold lava population.
In the 20th century, recorded Kelud erupted in 1901, 1919 (May 1 [2]), 1951, 1966, and 1990. In 2007 the mountain was again increased its activity. This pattern brings a volcano expert at the 15-year cycle for this eruption.
This mountain activity increased in late September 2007 and continued until November of that year, marked by increasing the temperature of crater lake water, kegempaan increased tremor, and changes color from green crater lake became cloudy white. Status of "watch out" (highest) issued by the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation since October 16, 2007 which has implications for the population within a radius of 10 km from the mountain (approximately 135,000 inhabitants) who lived on the slopes of the volcano have to evacuate. But the eruption did not happen.
Having had a little subsided, Kelud activity again increased since October 30, 2007 with the rapid increase in temperature of crater lake water and shallow volcanic kegempaan. On November 3, 2007 about 16.00 of the lake water temperature exceeds 74 degrees Celsius, well above the normal symptoms of the eruption of 40 degrees Celsius, causing the temperature gauge broken. Earthquake tremors vibration with large amplitude (more than 35mm) will cause officers to evacuate supervisor, but again does not happen eruption.

As a result of high activity such terjdi new unique phenomenon in history Kelut with white smoke rise from the middle of the lake followed by a dome of lava from the middle of the crater lake since November 5, 2007 and continue to "grow" up to 100m wide size. The experts consider this lava dome that clog channels that magma eruption is not imminent. Energy to be used to encourage the eruption of lava dome eruption in 1990 remains.

Since the incident energy release activity diminished and the November 8, 2007 Kelud status lowered to "standby" (level 3).
