A paradise ……exploring the desert Steeple Islet ! What a SPECTACULAR Natural Aquarium ! 💙 . . . The Steeple Islet is about 0.46 ha , there are 10 pyroclastic rock formations nearby , when the tide ebbed , the area was increasing to 3.86 ha ! The whole islet looks out like a headpiece from the north sea ! Now is the habitat of terns and laver abounds in winter ! 🕊🌋🕊 . . . Besides of lamenting the magic of scenery, we also enjoy lovely marine organisms here : tube worms(毛管蟲 ) , diadema setosum (魔鬼海膽), clownfish (小丑魚), sea anemone (海葵), brittle star (陽隧足), sea cucumber (海參), aplysia (海兔), wild stone oyster (野生石蚵)……how many kinds can you know ? 🐠🐌🐚 . . . My summer ends here ……bye Penghu 👋 , thanks for all the beautiful and incredible memories ! ! ! 🤗🤗🤗 . . . #Taiwan #taiwantravel #taiwantravelmap #igtaiwan #taiwantrip #funtaiwan #bptaiwan #taiwan1 #penghu #islandlife #islet #台湾大好き #台湾🇹🇼 #台灣旅遊 #澎湖秘境 #澎湖 #澎湖景點 #頭巾嶼 #跳島 #離島 #島嶼 #輕旅行 #天然水族館 #旅行写真 #旅写真 #旅拍 #旅の記録 #旅行的意義 #旅行好き女子 #攝影 💙🐠💙

It has been wonderful to relive some of those memories together with travel buddies @naimjamalhodha @ikhwanbard @muhammadadib95 one of my favourite days ever (experiences the volcano mountain with amazing rides from @jeepmerapi86) — Mount Merapi (25 kilometers north of Yogyakarta, near Borobudur) is the most active of Indonesia's 127 active volcanos. Located north of Central Java's capital of Yogyakarta, it is a 2968 meter-high (9,737 foot-high) stratovolcano with steep slopes and an almost perfect cone shape. According to volcanodiscovery.com: “It erupts on average every five to ten years and is feared for its deadly pyroclastic flows - avalanches of hot rocks and gas that are generated when parts of new lava domes constructed during eruptions in the summit crater collapse and slide down the mountain's steep flanks.” The name "Merapi" comes from the old Javanese language and means "the one making fire". It is a popular name for volcanoes: another volcano with the same name Merapi is in the Ijen Massif in East Java and similarly called volcano "Marapi" lies on Sumatra Island. Since the 1820s, Merapi has erupted with deadly force at least two dozen times. In 1930 a pyroclastic flow incinerated and suffocated 1,300 people. In 1960, pyroclastic flows raced down the mountain’s southwest side, killing 60 and injured 300. In 1969 there was another major eruption. This one was predicted and the large cloud of ignited gas resulted in few casualties. In 1994 Merapi erupted violently again, killing 60 people. It has been very active in recent years. In June 1998, pyroclastic flows raced down the western flank, destroying farmland. In January 2001, there were a number of earthquakes and scientists predicted a major eruption that didn’t occur. After a five year period of relative calm, a new eruption started in April 2006. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated during the peak of the eruption in late May-mid June. A particularly powerful pyroclastic flow killed two workers trapped inside a shelter that was overrun by a flow. In 2010, Merapi roared to life again, killing 324 people over two months. — @wikipedia. #kebanggaanindonesia @exploreindonesia
