MOUNT BROMO

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.
