Mount Semeru in East Java erupted again on Monday (April 20, 2026) at 16:25 WIB. In the past week, Mount Semeru has erupted twice. Quoting eruption information from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) via the MAGMA Indonesia application, the observed ash column height reached 600 meters above the peak (4,276 meters above sea level). The ash column was observed to be gray in color with thick intensity towards the north. The eruption was recorded on the seismograph

Trying my first starfish 🤩🌊🐟 This is a purple ochre starfish, one of the most common starfish species in BC. They’re very abundant here, and numbers have rebounded since sea star wasting disease decimated populations decades ago. The regulations state the daily limit as 6, with no other distinguishing information on size or species. Sunflower seastars (with up to 24 arms) numbers are still low and considered endangered - so leave them alone! #catchandcook #starfish #ocean #seafood
