When 1980
Photographer David Alan Harvey

"At home in an ancient volcano, a rice farmer eyes a storm above Lake Toba, cupped in a crater on Indonesia's Sumatra. His upland home rises high and cool above jungles and swamps of the world's sixth largest island."

—From "A Sumatran Journey," March 1981, National Geographic magazine
