Then a small eruption, volcanic material thrown into the southeast to form a large and deep valley to the village cows kerep. Massive eruption created a caldera with a diameter of more than eight kilometers. Because inside the caldera, the eruption of volcanic material piled up in and now a sea of ​​sand and in the expected time immemorial been filled with water and then follow-up activity is the emergence of the middle aisle caldera magma giving rise to the mountain - a new mountain, among others, Ocean sand, Widodaren Mountain, Mount Watangan, Chair Mountain, Mount Batok and Mount Bromo.

Ijen Crater

Ijen crater, situated in Banyuwangi, East Java. Indonesia. This tour has been published and well known Until the French State through Ushuwaia Adventure Impressions showing the-explorer Nicolai Hulot Ijen crater was easy to be visited through Banyuwangi or Bondowoso. The uniqueness of the main crater of the tour apart from the exquisite a view is to see a traditional sulfur mining transported borne by human power. Traditional mining is said to exist only on Indonesia alone (Welirang and Ijen). Expenses are transported each weighing up to 85kg per person. This remarkable heavy burden for most people, when sulfur is transported through the steep caldera wall and 800m down the mountain as far as 3km. Income received by a bearing on average 25 thousand rupiah per day, or about 300 dollars per kilo.

A bearer is usually only able to bring down one time every day, because the weight of the job. A few hundred yards there is a round building of ancient relics of the Netherlands said "Irrigation crater", which is now known as the Round Post, an outpost where miners weigh the cargo and get a piece of paper about the content and value. Travel tour to the crater Ijen, starting from Paltuding 1.600 masl, an outpost at the foot of Mount Merapi Perhutani-Ijen. From here a dirt road climb to an altitude of 2.400 m above sea level and takes about 2 hours leisurely stroll. Along the way many sulfur bearers ran into a friendly exchange greetings. Arrive at the lip of the crater, stunning scenery in front of the eye. A tosca green lake with a diameter of 1 km covered in mist and sulfur fumes were far below. Sulfur-miner miner looks small from the top.

 To go to the source of sulfur.We need to down the caldera cliff rocks along the path trodden by miners. Wet handkerchief is necessary, because sometimes the wind carried the smoke to the path of decline. Based crater, parallel to the surface of the lake there are other place of extraction of sulfur. Thick white smoke came out spraying am iron pipe which is connected to a source of sulfur. 600oC molten red hot fumaroles melt out and frozen with cold air, forming a bright yellow solid sulfur. Sometimes uncontrolled burning embers fumaroles, which usually 
immediately drenched with water to prevent a chain reaction piroporik. Sulfur rocks are cut with a crowbar and transported kedlm basket. In an environment such as breathing. It needed its own struggle, the miners generally worked, biting piece of cloth or cloth gloves as makeshift air filter.

The last eruption in 1964 Stratovolcano is the mountain (volcano) is high and conical which consists of lava and volcanic ash that hardened. Form volcanoes that are typically steep apparently due to lava flows that form the volcano was very thick, and so cool and harden before it spreads further. Such lava grouped because of the high concentration of silicic acid. At the other end of the spectrum that is protective of volcanoes, which are formed from lava that are less thick, giving him a strong base and carefully look on the ramp. Many stratovolcano that exceed a height of 2500 m. Often created by subduction of tectonic plates. Although stratovolcano sometimes called composite volcanoes, volcano experts prefer to use the term stratovolcano to distinguish it from the volcano because all volcanoes of any form has the structure of composite (layered) - which is formed from shedding  eruptive material. Pura Besakih From this mountain with a conical taper seems perfect, but the actual peak of this mountain elongated and ends in a circular craters and wide. From the top of Mount Agung we can see the peak of Mount Rinjani in Lombok island in the east,

although both mountains covered with clouds because both peaks are above the clouds, the islands of Nusa Penida in the south and its beaches, including beach and mountain Sanur and Lake Batur in the northwest.
