About 80 kilometers from Kutojima Island, Mount Merapi Volcano in Central Java is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

However, its neighboring mountain-Mount Semeru-is a dormant giant.

Although its past eruptions devastated the surrounding area, residents are hopeful that it will be used as a tourist attraction and source of natural resources.

CURRENTLY, THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT IS CONSTRUCTING AN OBSERVATORY ON SEMERU TO STUDY AND PREDICT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY-INCLUDING ERUPTIONS AND EARTHQUAKES.

The observatory will utilize modern technology to help experts better understand and control volcanic eruptions.

It will also have staff on hand to rescue people caught in the middle of an eruption.

It will also have staff on hand to rescue people caught in the middle of an eruption.

This is an ambitious project that promises to bring safety and relief to thousands of lives-but needs serious funding first!

Although Mount Semeru is a dangerous place, it has the potential to become one of Indonesia's greatest natural attractions.

As one of the world's most active volcanoes, it has the potential to teach people about dangerous nature and inspire them with its afterwards recovery.

Only time will tell if this mountain ever lives up to its potential as a tourist destination!

Mount Semeru's eruptions are usually violent and cause widespread damage.

During the 1930s, Merapi's eruptions killed over 100,000 people.

As a result, many people believe that creating a museum on Semeru would educate people about volcanoes and prevent them from panicking every time it erupts.

This is where the idea of using the mountain as a tourist destination comes into play.

By showing people what a safe and natural environment can look like once it recovers from an eruption, Indonesia could encourage people to visit and boost their economy at the same time.

In February 2018, Mount Semeru's crater became unstable due to increased volcanic activity; this caused residents to temporarily evacuate.

Fortunately, there were no casualties or major damage caused by this eruption.

However, it did cause disruption to airlines as well as several other industries that rely on volcanic ash for their work.

Over ash from Merapi can cause serious damage to airplanes, so it's understKalianble how flights would be affected by ash from Semeru.
