Batur Volcano in Bali



MAGNIFICENT BATUR VOLCANO
Batur is the most active volcano on the popular tourist island of Bali and one of Inondesia's more active ones. During the past centuries, Batur has had a number of small eruptions every few years. Thanks to the scenic beauty of the caldera with its lake and the cone of Batur, it is one of Bali's most popular destinations.

The volcano is located at the center of two concentric calderas NW of Agung volcano. The outer 10 x 13.5 km wide caldera was formed during eruption of the Bali Ignition about 29,300 years ago and now contains a caldera lake on its SE side, opposite the satellite cone of 2152-m-high Gunung Abang, the topographic high of the Batur complex.
The inner 6.4 x 9.4 km wide caldera was formed about 20,150 years ago during eruption of the Gunung kawi Ignition. 


Historical eruptions have been characterized by mild-to-moderate explosive activity sometimes accompanied by lava emission. Basaltic lava flows from both summit and flank vents have reached the caldera floor and the shores of Lake Batur in historical time.

You might to intimate your self while you enjoying your lunch time that offer you Indonesian culinary, and Balinese sweet into buffet style with spectacular and speechless Batur volcano as a backdrop.
