TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Dukono Volcano Observation Outpost in North Halmahera, based on an instruction issued by the North Halmahera administration, closed the hiking route to the summit of Malupang Warirang Crater. The action was taken due to an increased volcanic activity at Mount Dukono over the last two weeks.

Mount Dukono observer Iwan Amat said until Tuesday evening, July 25, 2017, Mount Dukono erupted 172 times with amplitude of 5-34 millimeters lasted for 25.96-56.02 seconds.  Mount Dukono released thick smoke as high as 400-500 meters.

North Halmahera Vice Regent Muhlis Tapitapi said that since the closure of the climbing route, the local government has deployed staff to monitor climbing activities in all areas. The government even issued a warning related to the impact of Mount Dukono.
