(Reuters) - A villager walks near a house submerged by dried mud near the centre of a mudflow in Sidoarjo, East Java province November 18, 2009. In 2006, a hot mud volcano erupted in Porong, East Java, destroying homes, factories, and livelihoods. Attempts to staunch the flow failed and the stinking mud continues to spread. It now covers about 800 hectares (1,977 acres), has displaced nearly 60,000 people and killed 17. REUTERS/Sigit Pamungkas (INDONESIA ENVIRONMENT DISASTER)

(AP) - Residents are evacuated to safer grounds after Mayon volcano, which killed scores in an eruption 16 years ago, spewed ash twice, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, in Legazpi, Albay province, about 340 kilometers (212 miles) southeast of Manila, Philippines. Chief state volcanologist Renato Solidum said the alert level remains the same at Mayon, the country's most active volcano, but that if magma continues to rise below the glowing crater there could be another eruption within weeks.(AP Photo/Elmer Bandol)

(AP) - Mayon volcano spews grayish ash for the second time in a day Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009 at Legazpi, Albay province, about 340 kilometers (212 miles) southeast of Manila, Philippines. Chief state volcanologist Renato Solidum said the cone-shaped Mayon volcano in the central Philippines has shot an ash plume into the air and advised nearby residents to be ready to move to safety in case of eruption. The country's most active volcano last erupted in 2006 and typhoon-triggered mudslides later that year buried entire villages, killing more than 1,000 people. (AP Photo/Nelson Salting)

(AP) - This Oct. 25, 2009 photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory shows surface flows advancing on the Kalapana access road, west of the viewing area trailhead in Hawaii. Civil Defense officials on the Big Island believe the trailhead of the Kalapana viewing area is safe from a tongue of lava from erupting Kilauea volcano. Janet Babb, a geologist and spokeswoman at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Wednesday Oct. 28, 2009 that the flow front near the trailhead had stagnated.
