Gunung Bromo, Jawa Timur
Mount Bromo (2329 m) is an active volcano, part of the Tengger Caldera volcanic complex. It appears a small pyroclastic cone which rises about 133 m above the surrounding floor of the large (9x10km) Tengger Caldera (also referred to as the "Sea of Sand", or Lautan Pasir in Indonesian, due to its flat sandy floor), which is the result of the collapse of the top half of a probably nearly 4500-m-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.
The name of this volcano derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation.
