Majestic, Mysterious Mt Merapi

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Mount Merapi, one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia which is located in the north of Yogyakarta, appears majestic and mysterious. Note that based on the online Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, the singular noun volcano [vɒl'keɪnəʊ], meaning "a mountain with a large opening at the top through which gases and lava (= hot liquid rock) are forced out into the air, or have been in the past", has two plural forms, namely volcanoes or volcanos [vɒl'keɪnəʊz].   

 

Mount Merapi may look calm in the morning 

 

 Interested in reaching the top of Mount Merapi?

 

 Wow ... a little bit smoggy and smoky up there

 

 Mount Merapi is an active volcano [maʊnt mərʌpɪ ɪz ən 'æktɪv vɒl'keɪnəʊ]

 

 Look! This time Mount Merapi is more smoky ...
