Gunung Raung

Mount Raung rises 3,332 meters above sea level, featuring a large caldera measuring 2 kilometers in width and 500 meters in depth.

The first documented eruption occurred in 1586, followed by numerous volcanic events that continued through multiple centuries until the present day.

Local Indonesian communities monitor the mountain conditions through traditional knowledge passed down through generations, supplementing modern volcanic observation methods.

Climbers can access the summit through established routes from Bondowoso and Sumber Wringin, requiring proper equipment and experienced guidance.

The volcano contains the largest dry caldera in Java and the second largest in Indonesia, maintaining continuous Strombolian eruption patterns.
