Merapi is a notoriously active volcano in the center of the island of Java,Indonesia.
It is one of nation's most active volcano and has great spiritual significance for those living on its fertile slopes.
Merapi, which means "Mountain of Fire", typically has small eruptions every two to three years, and larger ones about once every 10 to 15 years.
It killed 3,000 people in 1672, and over 1,000 people in 1930. More recently, eruptions killed 28 people in 1976 and destroyed the homes of nearly 2000 others. In 1995, an eruption killed 30 people and injured 100. The crater at the summit is continually emitting smoke. Despite its ferocious eruptive history, Merapi (9,550 ft.)and its nearby northern neighbor Merbabu (10,308 ft.) are frequently climbed. The ascent of either peak starts from the village of Selo. Both ascents are easy hikes on well-traveled trails.
Location: Central Java, Indonesia
