Lava flowing from Karangetang volcano lights up the sky over nearby Bebali village on Indonesia's Siau Island. Karangetang [3] is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia [4], having erupted over 40 times since 1675—most recently on April 4, as pictured.

In all, Indonesia plays host to some 129 active volcanoes [5], forming one of the more spectacular corners of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a global system of tectonic faults resulting in dramatically increased earthquake and volcano activity.
