Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano, stands as a testament to nature's raw power🌋 Erupting over 80 times since the 16th century, its recent activity in January 2024 sent pyroclastic flows up to 2 kilometers from the summit. This stratovolcano, with its active lava dome, continues to shape the landscape and history of Java.

Indonesia’s Mount Merapi erupted, spreading searing gas clouds and avalanches of lava down its slopes as other active volcanoes flared up across the country, forcing the evacuation of thousands. Merapi is the most active out of more than 120 volcanoes across the country. Sunday's eruption is the latest since authorities raised its alert level to the second-highest in November 2020 after sensors picked up increasing activity. Residents living on the slopes were advised to stay at least 4.3 miles
