Volcanoes of East Java

The Tengger-Semeru Highlands, with the volcano of Bromo to the north and Semeru to the south, covers the eastern half. Bromo has a crater inside a crater. The legendary Semeru is the highest peak (3676 m) in Java. The area between the two volcanoes is a national park. Towards the west, lies the town of Malang with Lake Karangkates to the south. Volcanic sediment-laden rivers flow southeast from the slopes of the Semeru to the Indian Ocean.
