Photo Gallery Description
Since the 2010 eruption of Merapi Volcan, near Jogjakarta, a tourism centre has been established and is proving popular with local and foreign tourists. The eruption killed 300 people whilst 400,000 were evacuated to temporary camps. The 300 deaths were due to the pyroclastic blast which travelled at a speed of 200 km/h. The ensuing lava flow was 15 km long by 5 km wide.
