scientists have warned hikers and visitors to stay away from two more indonesian volcanoes, a day after another volcano spewed ash on disaster-stricken sumatra island and forced the evacuation of some 25,000 people.
sensors on the slopes of the two mountains -- anak krakatoa on the southern tip of sumatra and tangkuban prahu in java -- picked up an increase in volcanic activity and a buildup of gases, government volcanologist syamsul rizal said on wednesday.
on tuesday, mount talang, also on sumatra, sent clouds of gas high into the air. some 25,000 people have fled the area around the volcano and are staying in tents and public buildings.
vulcanologists said it was possible the increased volcanic activity could be linked to recent earthquakes that have rocked sumatra, including one on march 28 that killed 600 people on the outlying island of nias.
