Mount Sinabung had been dormant for 400 years, now tourists are being warned to stay away from the volcano which has erupted shooting ash and rocks more than half a mile into the air.
More than 17,000 people have been forced to take shelter in a neighbouring village, but some determined workers have stayed, saying they cannot afford to leave.
The volcano, in the Tanah Karo district of North Sumatra, began rumbling and series of small eruptions has been reported, sparking concern among local volcanologists that a major eruption could be on the way.
Indonesia has nearly 130 volcanoes, more than any other country in the world.
