Mount Rinjani’s Beauty

After Mount Kerinci on Sumatra Island, Mount Rinjani becomes Indonesia’s second-highest active volcano. It has beautiful scenery that can be explored by people around Indonesia. In addition, Mount Rinjani is also the third highest mountain in Indonesia after Mount Jayawijaya on Papua Island. 

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mount Rinjani is included in the ranks of the Indonesia Seven Summits and it is frequently visited by local and international climbers. The existence of Mount Rinjani is estimated since the Prequarter era, while volcanic activity began in the Pleistocene era.

The large eruption of Mount Rinjani formed a caldera filled with water and became known as Lake Segara Anak with a depth of 230 m. The tectonic activity also gave rise to a new volcano cone named Mount Barujari. The history of Mount Rinjani eruptions began in 1847 to 2009 which produced lava and pyroclastic falls.
