Mount Merapi, which emits chunks of lava when it erupts several times, is seen from Turgo village, Sleman district in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in the early morning, on May 22, 2022. The Indonesian Center for Research and Development of Geological Disaster Technology (BPPTKG) noted that the activity of Mount Merapi was clearly visible and the smoke from the crater under low pressure was observed to be white with moderate to thick intensity, and 20-50 m high above the crater peak. In addition to hot clouds of avalanches, incandescent lava avalanches were also observed 10 times the maximum sliding distance of 2,000 meters to the southwest.
