A number of residents in the shadow of Mount Ili Lewotolok have ignored evacuation orders deciding to protect their livestock.
Footage filmed by volunteer Diego Alif Sarariti on November 30 shows numerous residents attending to their animals in Central Lewoleba in the province of East Nusa Tenggara.
Mount Ile Lewotolok erupted on Monday sending large dust clouds into the sky nearly 3,000 metres above sea level.
The eruption prompted 2,780 people from 26 villages to flee and a four-kilometre radius has been set up around the volcano, but some have decided to stay.
Indonesia's Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Centre said "hot clouds, lava stream, lava avalanche, and poisonous gas" would be a result of the eruption.
