A mud volcano in Indonesia has been erupting for 11 years

A mud volcano named Lusi has been erupting on the Indonesian island of Java since May 2006. Lusi reportedly took 13 lives, destroyed homes of 60,000 people and buried nearby villages up to 40 metres in mud. Scientists are uncertain whether the eruption was triggered by an earthquake or failure of a gas well being drilled nearby at the time.
