Tourists evacuated amid volcanic eruption on Mt. Aso
TOKYO, Sept. 14, Kyodo
Mt. Aso in the southwestern Japanese prefecture of Kumamoto erupted Monday, leading to tourists being evacuated and flights cancelled or diverted, authorities said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The eruption occurred at around 9:43 a.m., shooting ash 2,000 meters into the air and scattering large rocks, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, adding that pyroclastic flows may have occurred.
The agency raised the alert level for the 1,506-meter volcano to level 3 on the scale of 5, calling on people not to approach the mountain. It said there was danger from falling rocks and smoke from the plume.

plumeはおなじみの「羽毛」ですが，地学用語では「マントル プリューム」という意味でしばしば登場します。ここでは「マグマからの煙，黒煙」となるのでしょうか。（StarRight）
