<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> A spokesman for the Saudi Geological Survey Authority, Tariq Aba Al-Khail, revealed that a specialized technical team from the Volcanoes Department of the National Center for Seismology and Volcanoes at the Geological Survey Authority made a field visit to Umm Jarsan Cave on Saturday morning, after social media circulated a video clip showing the escalation of fumes and fire </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /><br /> And Aba Al-Khail stated that the technical team examined the rising fumes and it turned out that they are quantities of dung and debris from birds and bats that have accumulated over the years on top of each other in the cave floor and not volcanic smelter as mentioned in the rolling video. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="ar" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AC%D9%84?src=hash&ref_sr... <br /> Citizens monitor the escalation of volcanic fumes and fire from the mouth of Umm Jarasan, north of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A9_%...

Therefore, we conclude that the area is thermally stable and there is no fear of it, God willing. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
