The beauty of Mount Bromo Indonesia

1. Mount Rinjani

Mount Rinjani is located in Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. This mountain has Panaroma that the best among the mountains in Indonesia. Mount Rinjani annually visited by many nature lovers.

Mount Rinjani with the highest point 3,726 meters above sea level, dominates the view of the majority of the northern part of the island of Lombok.

On the west side there is a cone Rinjani caldera with an area of approximately 3,500 m × 4.800 m, extends to the east and the west. In this caldera are Segara Anak (ocean = ocean, lake) covering an area of 11 million square meters with a depth of 230 m. The water that flows from this lake formed waterfall is very beautiful, flowing through a steep ravine. In Segara Anak many carp and tilapia are so often used for fishing. The southern part of the lake is called Segara Endut.

On the east side of the caldera are New Mount (or Mount Barujari) which has a crater measuring 170m x 200m with a height of 2296-2376 m above sea level. This small mountain last erupted on 25 October 2015 and 3 November 2015, having previously recorded erupted in May 2009 and in 2004.If the eruption in 2004 no casualties, the eruption of 2009 it has taken indirect deaths of 31 people, a flash flood on Kokok (River) Tanggek by the pressure of lava to lake litle previously, Mount Barujari ever recorded erupted in 1944 (and establishment), 1966, and 1994.

Besides Mount Barujari there are also other craters that never erupted, called Mount entourage.

Stratigraphy

Stratigraphically, Gunung Rinjani covered by Neogene clastic sedimentary rocks (including limestone), and locally by the Oligo-Miocene volcanic rocks. Volcano Quaternary itself mostly produce pyroclastic flows, which in some places interspersed with lava. Lithology was recorded some known eruption in history. Since 1847 there has been a 7 times detonation, the shortest rest period of 1 year and the longest 37 years.

As in other volcanoes, Koesoemadinata (1979) mentions that the post-formation activity Rinjani volcano caldera is rebuilding. Activity is the efusiva that produce lava and form deposits eksplosiva-off material (pyroclastic). Lava is generally black, and when the drip looks like frothy. Outburst after the formation of the caldera is relatively weak, and issued by the lava cone Barujari G. and G. The group is relatively more alkaline than other volcanic lava in Indonesia. The possibility of a hot cloud when the eruption peaked very small. Materials eruptions are generally deposited on the inside of the caldera alone.

Lava flows, lava eruptions, lava rain, and clouds of hot avalanches likely to lead to the White crowing until Batusantek. Hot clouds avalanches can occur along leleran new lava is still moving, although unlikely.

Structure and Tectonics

Segara Anak caldera shape that oval to the east-west direction presumably related to structural cracks in the rock-base. Rinjani Volcano is located in the path of the Quaternary volcanic arc systems Banda In the western part is formed by the basic tunjaman activities under the edge of the Indian Ocean Plate Southeast Asia. Tunjaman lane located in the south showed the force of compression trending north-south. Cracks basic rock-east-west trending, which affects the wake of the caldera, thus interpreted as a release cracks caused by the pulling force. The structure is formed at least since the beginning of the Quaternary.

The peak of Mount Rinjani 

Climbing Mount Rinjani (peak) is one of the attractions is a mainstay in the area of Mount Rinjani National Park. Mount Rinjani as the volcano is still active 2nd highest number in Indonesia. The peak of Mount Rinjani is the goal of most adventurers and nature lovers who visit this area because it has reached the top when it is a matter of pride.

Lake Segara Anak

The charm of Mount Rinjani National Park featured highly prospective is Lake litle, this location can be reached from two official channels, namely climbing climbing lane Sembalun Senaru and hiking paths.

To visit Lake litle from Senaru path takes time approximately 7-10 hours on foot (± 8 km) from the gate Senaru hiking paths. While on a hiking trail Sembalun reached within 8-10 hours.  Lake at an altitude of ± 2.010 m above sea level and depth of approximately ± 230 meter lake has the shape of a crescent moon with an area of approximately 1,100 hectares.

Around Lake Segara Anak there is enough land and flat, can be used to place camping, visitors can also fish in the lake or soak in hot water containing sulfur.

Other places around Lake Koko Puteq ± 150 meters from Lake Segara Anak. There are also Goa Susu, Goa Manik, Umbrella Goa, Goa Dairy believed to be used as a medium to reflect themselves and are often used as a place to meditate. While at the bottom of Lake it there are hot springs (Aik Kalak Pengkereman Jembangan) which is used to test and bathing objects auspicious (Sword, Kris, Badik, Spear, Dagger, etc.) which, if these objects become sticky when soaked it signifies the objects ugly / does not have supernatural powers, otherwise if these objects remain intact means that they will have supernatural powers / believed to have efficacy.

Rinjani erupted in 1994 when

Rinjani has panaroma best among the mountains in Indonesia. Each year (June to August) frequently visited by lovers of nature ranging from local residents, students, nature lovers.

The average air temperature of about 20 ° C; Lowest 12 ° C. Strong winds in the usual peak occurred in August.

In addition to the summit, a place frequented is Segara Chicks, a lake located at an altitude of 2,000m above sea level. To reach this location we can climb from the village Senaru or Sembalun Lawang village (two nearest entry point at an altitude of 600m above sea level and 1.150m asl).

Most climbers begin the ascent of the route Sembalun and ending ascent in Senaru, it can save 700 m altitude. Sembalun these rather long but flat, and the weather is hot because through the blazing savanna (cold temperature but direct solar radiation burning the skin). cream shading is highly recommended.

From the Route Senaru climb without respite, but the weather was soft because through the woods. From these two locations takes about 7 hours walking to the lip of the ridge at an altitude of 2.641m asl (arriving in Plawangan Senaru or Plawangan Sembalun). In this place great views towards the lake, as well as to the outside is very nice. From Plawangan Senaru (if rising from the direction Senaru) down to the lake via a steep wall to a height of 2,000 meters above sea level) that can be taken within 2 hours. At the lake we can camping, fishing (Carper, Mujair) aplenty. Lombok residents have a tradition of visiting immediate saplings to soak in hot tubs and fishing.

To reach the top (of the lake) had to walk west wall climbing as high as 700m and 1,000m-high ridge up pursued dlm 2 phase 3 hours and 4 hours. A first step toward Plawangan Sembalun, the last camp to await the morning. Summit attack is usually done at 3 pm to find beautiful moments - sunrise at the top of Rinjani. The trip to the summit is considered good; because climbing on the crater rim with a margin of safety that is mediocre. Terrain of sand, stone, soil. Last altitude of 200 meters must be taken with great difficulty, because one step forward followed by a half-step down (fallen rocks gravel). Create highlander - this the most challenging and preferred because of the rough terrain paid off with the beautiful natural scenery. Gunung Agung in Bali, Mount roar in Banyuwangi and Mount Tambora on Sumbawa clearly visible when the weather is nice in the morning. To climb Rinjani is not necessary tools, enough stamina, patience and passion climbers.

Overall the trip can be accomplished in three days and two nights program, or if you want to see two other objects: Cave Milk and Mount Baru Jari (Mount Rinjani child with a new crater in the middle of the lake) need an extra two days of travel. Logistical preparation is needed.
