About Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi rises to about 2,900 metres just north of Yogyakarta on Java, and is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. The summit is often clear at dawn and wrapped in cloud by midday, especially in the wet season. This Mount Merapi live cam comes from JITV, the regional government's own channel, and looks towards the mountain from the Merapi Volcano Museum.
Which Mount Merapi webcam to check first
Watch the stream early in the morning, when the summit and any gas plume are most likely to be visible. Later in the day it is mostly a view of cloud, forest and weather on the lower slopes.
