Merapi, Java’s Fire Mountain, is one of the world’s ten most dangerous volcanoes. Over the last century, it has claimed more than 1,500 lives. Scientists now closely monitor its every move, especially after its unpredictable eruptions following the 2010 disaster. A German research team investigates a newly discovered fault line that might unlock secrets about this volatile volcano and improve prediction models to protect nearby communities.
