Dukono volcano MASSIVE ERUPTION. Three people lost their lives. They were warned.

On the morning of May 8, 2026, Mount Dukono in North Maluku, Indonesia, erupted with an ash column reaching 10 kilometers above the summit. Twenty hikers were inside the official 4-kilometer exclusion zone when the explosion happened. Three did not come back. This video breaks down the 39-day warning that scientists at Indonesia's PVMBG had been tracking before this morning, why the area had been formally closed to visitors since April 17, and what the tour guide who survived saw before everyone else.
A direct word to anyone watching: if you ever plan to visit an active volcano, the warnings issued by the local geological monitoring agency are not optional. PVMBG in Indonesia, USGS in the United States, INGV in Italy, the Icelandic Meteorological Office in Iceland, and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program for international coverage. Read them before you climb. The exclusion zones are calculated, not arbitrary. Cross them, and you are outside the science that is built to keep you safe.
