Mount Sinabung spews clouds of hot ash and smoke in Tanah Karo, North Sumatra, Indonesia, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010. Mount Sinabung last erupted in 1600 and government volcanologists acknowledged they had made no efforts before the mountain started rumbling last week to sample gases or look out for rising magma or other signs of seismic activity.
