Lava is flowing from rumbling Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi spews smoke on Sunday 07 May 2006. Lava is flowing from rumbling Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano. Luckily for local people, it stopped far away from any inhabited areas on its slopes and in the foothills. Gunung Merapi, or Fiery Mountain, is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire and has been rumbling for weeks. Volcanologists at a nearby monitoring post warned that residents living in the danger zones of the Merapi volcano should be aware of the dangers if the volcano releases hot and poisonous clouds or lava flows. Experts have said an eruption could come anytime. Merapi killed 70 people in a 1994 eruption and 1,300 in 1930.
