It's not too often that you hear about a volcano forcing the closure of an airport, but it is for Bali and their 120 active volcanos. Ngurah Rai International Airport was closed Monday and Tuesday for reasons including the ash that spouts from the top of the volcano. This ash can be detrimental for airplanes as it clouds their line of vision and gets into the engine.
Not only has the airports been closed but families have been evacuated from a six-mile radius of the volcano. The last major eruption was in 1963 and killed about 1,100 people. The highest alerts have been put out a warning about the volcanoes activity.
