This picture taken on May 29, 2017 shows statues standing semi-submerged in mud, a symbol of the human toll of the 2006 disaster, at the mud volcano incident area in Sidoarjo, East Java. A mud volcano that erupted in central Indonesia a decade ago and swallowed entire villages is still oozing its all-consuming sludge, but for some entrepreneurial locals it has provided an unlikely business opportunity. “Mud tourism” is booming, as visitors flock to see rooftops poking above the giant bubbling lake, life-size statues made of mud and haunting memorials to one of the countrys worst environmental disasters.
