As Mount Agung's menacing smoke continues to blanket the Indonesian island of Bali, there are fears the volcano could blow at any time.
Disaster experts raised the alert to the highest level on Monday (November 27), warning residents near the summit to get out immediately.
Officials say blasts can be heard several miles away and flames can be seen at the peak, pointing to a possible imminent disaster.
Bali's main airport has been closed and flights have been diverted since Saturday (November 25) after the volcano spewed ash and steam almost 5000 feet into the sky causing travel chaos for tourists on ground.
