Eruptions

See also: 1871 Ruang eruption and tsunami

The first recorded eruption was in 1808.[1] Dr. Adolf Meyer witnessed a large eruption in 1871. Ruang was uninhabited at the time, but the inhabitants of nearby Tagulandang had many plantations on its slopes. The eruption destroyed these in minutes and caused a tsunami that obliterated most of their large village, situated on Tagulandang, opposite Ruang. Most of the village's inhabitants drowned, and their bodies afterward could be seen on the beach.[2]

Eruptions in April 2024 prompted over 800 people to evacuate the island for nearby Tagulandang[3] and the establishment of a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) exclusion zone from the crater that was later extended to 6 kilometres (3.7 mi).[4] On 17 April, authorities raised the volcano's alert level to four, the highest in Indonesia and issued a tsunami alert which led to orders for 11,000 residents and evacuees in Tagulandang to be moved to Manado in mainland Sulawesi, citing the risk of the volcano collapsing into the sea.[5] The eruption also prompted the shutdown of Sam Ratulangi International Airport in Manado.[6] Siau Tagulandang Biaro Islands Regency, where the volcano is located, declared a 14-day state of emergency.[7]
