Mt. Agung on Bali continues to erupt, spewing ash miles into the sky and forcing the extended closure of Bali’s Denpasar International Airport.

The volcano’s activity since tremors last week prompted officials to raise the alert level to its highest for the second time in two months has stranded tens of thousands of travelers on what is usually viewed as an island paradise.
