This live webcam shows Mount Merapi in Central Java, Indonesia - one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes in the world. Rising to an elevation of about 2,930 meters, Merapi dominates the landscape between the provinces of Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta.

Mount Merapi is famous for its frequent eruptions and powerful pyroclastic flows that can travel rapidly down its slopes. The volcano is almost constantly active, regularly releasing steam, volcanic gases, and ash clouds from its summit crater. Larger eruptions occur periodically and have historically caused significant impact on nearby communities.

This 24/7 live camera is positioned roughly 8 kilometers south of the volcano, offering a clear view of Merapi's steep slopes and summit activity. Viewers may observe ash plumes, drifting clouds around the crater, or the dramatic glow of lava flows during nighttime eruptions.

Despite its hazards, Mount Merapi remains deeply important to local culture and spirituality. Communities around the volcano maintain long traditions and rituals connected to the mountain, reflecting the powerful relationship between people and one of Indonesia's most iconic natural landmarks.
