Papua New Guinea's Manam volcano erupted on Friday, sending volcanic ash as high as 65,000 feet in the air.

The volcano, situated on Papua New Guinea's northern coast has erupted after 11 years.

The Manam volcano erupted at about 1 p.m. local time on Friday, following which a Code Red aviation advisory was issued in the region, according to Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

The plume from Friday's volcanic eruption was said to be spreading in all directions, the Australian agency said.

The last time the 1,807 meters high volcano erupted was in 2004, according to Accuweather.com.

****Ash Alert****
LOL!!

Must be ten years or more since we’ve had one of those.

Is this related to the 7.0 they had earlier in the week?

If we offered up Al Gore to the volcano do you think it would go back to sleep?

They wear conical penis cones there.

That’s the beginning and end of my knowledge of that place.

Oh, wait: didn’t they eat a Rockefeller ?

The volcano is not big enough.

SEE ! If we had just paid that global warm tax this never would have happened.

FWIW it probably sent up more carbon dioxide than the Human race has produced in the last 10 years or so.

If we want to stop “climate change” we need to put a cork in all these volcanoes.

It’s worth a chance, shove him in anyway.

Note to AlGore: more global cooling on the way, bozo.

I breathed less carbon dioxide this year to help in solving global warming and now this!
