MT MERAPI Jogjakarta

Minggu, 07 November 2010



This mountain is one of the most active and dangerous volcano in the world. It can be seen from its name – Merapi from Javanese world Meru means mountain and Api means fire. The latest eruption
in Saturday, July 11, 1998, the volcano erupted again after days of ominous rumblings and minor tremors.
