Mount Merapi, located in the heart of Java island, roared back to life two weeks ago, shooting searing clouds of gray soot and debris up to four miles into the air almost daily, with lava and rock cascading down its slopes.
More than 350,000 people have been evacuated to cramped emergency shelters.
"Although the eruptions are less frequent, that doesn't mean that the activities have slowed, so we are keeping the status at the highest alert," said Surono, the head of the country's vulcanology agency. Intense tremors were still being detected, forcing authorities to maintain a high alert status and a 12-mile exclusion zone from the summit.
