Have you ever seen this painting? It is The Scream (or The Cry, created between 1893 and 1910), a painting by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch describing his feeling toward the Krakatau's eruption in 1883. The powerful volcano eruption ejected a large volume of ash into the the sky and tinted the sky blood red in most of eastern United States, Europe and Asia from November 1883 to February 1884. During that time, the painter was walking along a path with two friends, when the sky suddenly turned blood red.
Another lesson Indonesia's volcano eruption gave to the world was when Mount Galunggung's eruption in 1982 forced Auckland-bound British Airways plane to land in Jakarta's airport. It was the first time in the history of commercial flight. Therefore, when Icelandic mount Eyjafjallajokull erupted recently, it was only proper that the authority set airspace closure for six days.
I wonder what people will learn from the eruption of Mount Merapi.
