  Title: Volcanoes in Central Java, Indonesia
  Description:
  The Indonesian island of Java (8.0S, 112.0) has over 35 active volcanoes, 
  some of which are the most explosive in the world, and form an east/west
  line  of peaks the length of the island.  Five are in this image and at
  least one  is thought to be currently active.  The plume flowing north from
  Welirang  (just east of the central cloud mass) is believed to be steam
  emissions.   Also, the lack of vegetation at the peak indicates volcanic
  activity.
