Approximately a quarter of a million people live within 10 kilometres of the 2,968-metre mountain. Merapi is the most active of Indonesia's 120 live volcanoes, repeatedly erupting recently with lava and dangerous gas clouds. It's last big eruption in 2010 killed 347 people and made 20,000 villagers homeless. The latest eruption is understood to be Merapi's biggest lava flow since the alert level for the peak were raised in November 2020. |
