Mount Bromo in AntonCamera
Mount Bromo is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East
Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of
the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most
visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese
pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of
Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir),
a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is
from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to
walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an
organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan
(2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian Gunung Penanjakan). The
viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From
inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.
Depending on the degree of volcanic activity, the Indonesian Centre for
Vulcanology and Disaster Hazard Mitigation sometimes issues warnings against
visiting Mount Bromo
