Mount Merapi is an active stratovolcano located on the island of Java. It erupts fairly frequently, with larger eruptions happening every 10 to 15 years. The most recent eruption was in 2010 and killed 353 people. However, in 2006 another eruption occurred. This eruption was less powerful but it was captured pretty well on satellite imagery. The eruptions began around the end of April and lasted through May. Below are before, during, and after images.
