The first eruption spewed ash and lava 1,500 to 2,000 metres high," he added.    Lava flowed into a lake, pushing its temperature to 35 degrees Celsius, up from 21 degrees Celsius, Mutaharlin said.     "The smoke had spread as far as 12 kilometres and dozens of acres of crop land were covered in ash," he said.    "But the  eruptions haven't reached dangerous levels yet, so we're not evacuating villagers," he added.AFP</blockquote>
