Bromo Eruption

8 June 2004 - Thick plumes of smoke rise as Mount Bromo erupts, about 75 km (46 miles) south of Surabaya, the capital of East Java and Indonesia's second largest city. Two tourists, one an Indonesian and the other from Singapore, were killed and five others injured when Mount Bromo, a popular tourist destination, hurled rocks the size of footballs on Monday. Indonesia sits astride the geologically active Pacific 'ring of fire.' It has more than 100 active volcanoes. Mount Batok (R) and Mount Semeru (Back) can also be seen in the photo.
