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.
