A satellite image shows the eruption and lava flow of Mount Merapi, Indonesia, Nov. 12, 2010. Indonesia's president will cut short his trip to the G20 summit meeting in order to oversee the response to a deadly volcanic eruption at home, he said on Thursday. Volcano Mount Merapi, on the outskirts of Yogyakarta city in Central Java, began spewing searing hot gas and ash clouds more than two weeks ago, since then it has killed 194 people and displaced more than 320,000, as well as disrupted flights.
