Villagers look at the Merapi volcano in Cangkringan, Indonesia, Monday, July 22, 2013.

YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia -- Indonesia's most volatile volcano spewed smoke and ash Monday, forcing hundreds of people to flee their villages along its slopes, a disaster official said.

Mount Merapi on the main island of Java rumbled as heavy rain fell around its cloud-covered crater, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, disaster mitigation agency spokesman.

The volcano unleashed a column of dark red volcanic material 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) into the air, and the ash made the rain thick and muddy in several villages as terrified residents fled to safety, he said.

The sound was heard 30 kilometers (18 miles) away, but an eruption did not occur and the volcano's alert level was not raised, Nugroho said.

2013" (http://bit.ly/swvolcanoes ) is an unprecedented look into the daily life and activities of the research team as they scale the side of the active Stromboli volcano off the north coast of Sicily.

The team, headed by UAF research professors John Dehn and Peter Webley, is testing an inexpensive way to monitor and collect data from volcanoes using off-the-shelf webcams.

"In short, our fieldwork is trying to calibrate these inexpensive cameras using the infrared digital cameras under a variety of conditions at active volcanoes," Dehn, an associate research professor, said from Italy. "This would allow us to data-mine past eruptions for accurate time temperature data and offer an inexpensive alternative to costly digital video monitoring."
