Merapi || The World of XPILAR - LANDSCAPE/SEASCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #119

in WORLD OF XPILAR • 2 years ago

Greeting Steemians,
Mount Merapi (peak altitude 2,930 masl) is a volcano in the central part of Java Island and is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. The forest area around the peak has become the Mount Merapi National Park area since 2004.

This mountain has a high potential for disaster because according to modern records, Mount Merapi erupts every two to five years and is surrounded by dense settlements. Since 1548, this mountain has erupted 68 times.
Magelang and Yogyakarta City are the closest major cities, less than 30km from the peak. On the slopes, there are still settlements up to a height of 1,700 meters and only four kilometers from the summit. Because of this level of importance, Merapi is one of the sixteen world volcanoes included in the Volcanoes of the Decade project.
