NATURAL disasters have a way of humbling us despite our ability to create such mighty civilisations. Its destructive force is a reminder of how small humanity is compared to the natural world and its many moods and seasons.
Best reflecting this statement is a recent video on the internet which showed a river of flowing lava.
According to netizen @anthraxxxx who captured the video, this was the result from the eruption of Mount Semeru in Jawa Timur.
