Watch as a powerful volcanic eruption sends ash billowing into the sky, triggering panic among nearby visitors.
Ramli K Giu, from Indonesia, captured the dramatic moment at Mount Dukono.
The video shows a massive plume of ash and smoke rising rapidly from the volcano, filling the sky with thick grey clouds.
As the eruption intensifies, people in the area can be seen reacting quickly, moving away and scrambling to safety.
The sudden blast creates a tense atmosphere, with ash continuing to pour into the air.
He said: "Mount Dukono in Northern Halmahera is one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes erupting constantly since 1933.
"Climbing Dukono offers spectacular views of Malupang Warirang active crater, but is at high risk due to explosive eruptions, volcanic ash, and often a 3 km radius hike ban due to alert status."
The clip was shared on Tiktok where one user commented: "Is it really on the bank's blacklist? They say there is a ban on activities within a 3 km radius."
