About Mount Bromo
- It is a small but active volcanic cinder cone located on the Indonesian island of Java.
- It is located in the center of the Sandsea Caldera, itself only a portion of the larger Tengger Caldera.
- The Sandsea caldera formed around 8,000 years ago, in what must have been a massive eruption.
- Subsequent volcanic activity formed the cluster of cinder cones in the caldera’s center, including Bromo.
- The historical record indicates eruptions of Bromo every few years since 1804, and geologic evidence indicates eruptions at least several hundred years earlier.
- The most recent eruption occured in 2004 and tragically killed two tourists.
- There are 1,025 reported species of flora, of which 226 species are orchids and 260 are medicinal and ornamental plants.
