Mt. Marapi, the volcano, Sumatra 1983 # 59
View from our accommodation overlooking the city of Bukittinggi (920 meters above sea level). Straight ahead we are looking to the mountain peak, covered by clouds.
Gunung Marapi (also known as Merapi) is a complex volcano in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Its name means Mountain of Fire, and it is the most active volcano in Sumatra. Its elevation is 2,891.3 metres (9,485.9 ft)..
Our plan was to climb the volcano together with the Australian geologist (unfortunately I forgot his name), whom we met at Mak’s, his two locals guides, and a couple from Denmark.
.. to be continued... :)

The photo was taken in December 1983 with my analogue Nikon FE camera and 35mm slide film, and now scanned with Nikon Coolscan film scanner.
