"Death by volcano takes many forms: searing lava, suffocating mud, or the tsunamis that often follow an eruption. In 1883, Mount Krakatau (often misspelled as Krakatoa), located off Java's coast, triggered a tsunami that claimed more than 36,000 lives. The name became a metaphor for a catastrophic natural disaster."

Wow! Alan, you're not the Wizard of Id, nor the Wizard of Oz - no, you're the Wizard of Clip.

I didn't realise there were so many volcanoes on the planet let alone concentrated in such a relatively small area. Southern Africa is beginning to look like the safest place on the globe.

Amazing photos! Beautiful and terrifying. Thanks, alan

I can't believe how many volcanoes Indonesia is sitting on - way too much lava for me.
