This aerial photo was taken from the SE on August 14, 1922, less than a week after the end of an eruption that began on February 18, 1922. It shows the configuration of the summit of Merapi prior to a major eruption in 1930 during which much of the summit lava dome collapsed. Eruptions were reported on February 18, April 4-5, and August 8, 1922, during which frequent rock avalanches accompanied lava dome growth. The thin light-colored streak descending diagonally to the left from the summit is a lava flow that traveled 180 m down the western flank. Photo published in Taverne, 1926 "Vulkaanstudien op Java," (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Steam rises from still-hot pyroclastic-flow deposits in the Kali Blongkeng valley, 12 km from the summit of Merapi in December 1930. Thirteen villages were totally destroyed and 29 more partially destroyed by these pyroclastic flows, which killed 1369 persons on December 18. Photo published in Neumann van Padang, 1933 (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
Low ashclouds rise from a small pyroclastic flow traveling down the western flank from the breached crater of Merapi volcano in December 1930. A much larger pyroclastic flow that month traveled 12 km from the volcano, totally or partially destroying 42 villages and killing 1369 persons in one of Merapi's deadliest eruptions. Explosions had begun from Merapi on November 22, 1930. Explosive activity was accompanied by growth of a new lava dome and and extrusion of a lava flow. Dome growth and associated pyroclastic flows continued until October 1931. Photo published in Neumann van Padang, 1933 (courtesy of Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).

Steam rises from the growing lava dome of Merapi volcano on January 20, 1954, as viewed from the SE, two days after a major pyroclastic flow that caused 64 fatalities. Lava dome growth had began on March 2, 1953, accompanied by frequent pyroclastic flows. Several additional cycles of lava dome growth and destruction continued until December 1958. Photo by Suryo, 1954 (Volcanological Survey of Indonesia).
