Indonesia is an archipelago country. the length of Indonesia is about 5.271 km start from Sabang In NAD (Nangroe Aceh Darusallam) prvince until Merauke in West Papua Province. Indonesia has a lot of many culture and beautiful nature extend inside it including volcanology mountains.The first time I want to introduce the famous volcanology mountain in Java as my title above.


Mount Bromo (2392m) is a small pyroclastic cone which rises 133m above the surrounding floor of the massive (9x10km) Tengger Caldera. This caldera, also referred to as the sand-sea caldera due to its flat sandy floor, is the result of the collapse of the top half of a probably nearly 4500m high pre-caldera stratovolcano over 250000 years ago. Bromo has been frequently active since historical records began in 1804, with a total of over 50 eruptions being recorded up to the present date. Due to its location on the base of a steep-walled caldera, it generally only poses a local threat to life during explosive eruptions. These may occur with little warning. Such an eruption occurred on 08.06.2004 and accounted for 2 fatalities in the vicinity of the crater due to the impact of ballistics. Damage to vegetation may occur over a much wider radius, as could be witnessed during e.g. the 2010-2011 eruptive phase.

We have three ways to reach there. there we can enjoy the sunrise appearing it about at 5.00 am. before we move down to climb up the mountain through the desert. Bromo mountain surounds by three subdistricts. The first is Malang Subdistrict, second is Pasuruan Subdistrict, the third is Probolinggo Subdistrict
