The volcano, also known as the Child of Rinjani because it sits within the Mount Rinjani caldera, erupted without warning on Tuesday afternoon, delaying flights from airports in Lombok and nearby Bali. "We are still searching for about 389 other tourists, mostly foreign tourists, to find out their condition and to evacuate them immediately," Nugroho said. There have been no reports of injuries from the eruption. Rinjani is among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia. The archipelago is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes because of its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire."
