Welcome to Java. It is a lush tropical island with beautiful beaches, mountains and jungles teeming with wildlife.
It has also been at the centre of an earthquake and tsunami, it is associated with acts of terror and it has active volcanoes.
Now it is home to a massive mudslide, which may have triggered by gas exploration, which has been flowing since May and could last 100 years.
50,000 cubic metres a day flow out of it. 11,000 people have had to leave their homes and farms. It already covers over 400 hectares. 100 years!
