This photo taken on November 10, 2013, shows floating houses on Mahakam river in Samarinda's city of coal mining, in East Kalimantan. A coal rush that has drawn international miners to East Kalimantan province has ravaged the capital, Samarinda, which risks being swallowed up by mining if the exploitation of its deposits expands any further.
