Benar sekali, Bu. Gunung di Indonesia memang luar biasa indah. Kalau untuk Lampung, saya sendiri penasaran dengan Suoh.
Sama-sama, Bu. Terima kasih sudah membaca dan salam dari Jawa Tengah.
Youâre welcome Mr @ALG87 !
Of course why not one day.!
Thanks
for kind words too and good luck for your rest tour..
Letâs enjoy the rest too together

Es ist ein sehr interessanter Artikel Ăźber die vielen Vulkane eurer Heimat.
Thank you for visiting and reading this article, @Annaelisa ![]()
I think Vulkaneifel in Germany is also interesting. I hope I can go there someday.
Oh wow!!! This is such a fascinating post @ALG87
There are lots of links which I find to be really useful and I love that the photos you shared are also large which allows me to zoom in and look at the details on a computer!! Thanks very much for sharing these!
And I was looking at Mount Merapi and itâs quite crazy how people are living so close to an active volcano! I can understand that the soil is very fertile and I can see lots of farms set up around the slopes but hopefully there will not be any casualties in the future!
For anyone interested, check out the screenshots below of Mount Merapi.
You can see roads and buildings on the slopes!
@MortenCopenhagen do you know what those blue lines are? I initially wondered if they were like streams but I donât think so. I looked at the satellite overlap and canât see any geographical feature to match the blue lines.
Oh, and I was looking at Mount Bromo and saw this photo on Maps.. wow!
Hi @AdrianLunsong! Thanks a lot for reading my post and paying attention to the photos
I really hope so, because the last major eruption in October-November 2010 was so devastating and more than 350 people passed away. At that time, the mitigation and evacuation plans had been prepared for the specific radius (measured from the summit) set by the government. Unfortunately, the pyroclastic flow travelled beyond the radius (11,5 km) and struck the residential area.
Dukuh Plalangan is located on the northern slope of Mount Merapi (you can see the pinpoint of âNew Seloâ) and it is really close to the summit.
Yes, the blue lines are streams and most of them are match to the real streams. The stream pattern is radial because their sources originate at the summit.
I love that photo, too. Bromo looks majestic and surreal.
Hi @AdrianLunsong and @ALG87
Those blue lines are not something I have come across before.
But if you take a look here and turn on the terrain layer you can see this
To me this looks very much like the lines are related to changes in elevation. The grey areas look pretty much like shadows between the blue lines.
Hi, @MortenCopenhagen
Thanks for visiting this post.
Yes, the grey areas are the ravine sides of the river. Greater gray intensity indicates a steeper elevation difference.
@ALG87 What incredible places! Every time I see new posts from the community, I realize how vast the world is at our feet, and that there are places we never imagined existed. Iâm enchanted by these locations.
Thank you so much for visiting my post, @GasparKaren!
You are right! It is possible that even many hidden places remain untouched by humans.
@ALG87 This is a lovely landscape! beautiful!
but then that means that volcano areas have better crops? I had never heard about it, but it makes sense absolutely! Iâll have to find out if Mexico (my country) also takes advantage of volcanic soilsâŚ
I had heard about the Krakatoa volcano, but I didnât know itâs located in Indonesia. Thank you for your detailed post and for your useful info during Indonesian Spotlight week.
See you soon!
Saya adalah penggiat alam bebas, salah satunya adalah mendaki gunung. Membaca postingan ini referensi saya menjadi bertambah banyak karena sebagian yang disebutkan di atas ternyata belum pernah saya kunjungi. Yang paling berkesan bagi saya adalah ketika mengeksplorasi wilayah pegunungan Dieng di Wonosobo. Di sana terdapat tujuh gunung Ya sudah pernah saya daki dengan elevasi dan kesulitan berbeda-beda mulai dari Puncak Sikunir, Gunung Prau, Gunung Kembang, Gunung Bismo, Gunung Pakuwaja, Gunung Sumbing, dan Gunung Sindoro. Terima kasih Mas @ALG87 sudah berbagi postingan yang sangat detail ini pastinya sangat bermanfaat untuk menambah wawasan kita semua tentang gunung berapi di Indonesia
Thanks for visiting my article, @cuicani!
Yes, it is really beautiful.
Youâre right, the soil is more fertile because of the volcanic ashes which act as the natural fertilizer. Some articles mention about the relation between volcanic soil and the growth of agave, especially in the state of Jalisco and Guanajuato.
Yes. Actually, the real Krakatoa (Krakatau) has been submerged due to 1883 eruption. Nowadays, what we can see is actually Anak Krakatau (in English: Son of Krakatau).
See you soon!
Iya, Pak. Saya masih ingat jalur pendakian Gunung Ciremai yang streetviewnya dibuat oleh Bapak. Luar biasa, Pak. Saya sendiri belum pernah mendaki gunung. Gunung yang paling tinggi didaki dengan berjalan kaki mungkin Gunung Sahari di Jakarta ![]()
Sama-sama, Pak. Terima kasih sudah menginisiasi program Indonesian Spotlight Week sehingga berlangsung dengan baik.
