Mount Batok (2440m) is a dormant volcano at the northern centre of the huge caldera. It is now growing with vegetation, mostly cemara or pine trees that can thrive in the volcanic ash.
You can see the Lautan Pasir or Sand Sea, and a carpet of mist. To take these pictures of Mt. Batok, I had to ride a horse or pony, and climb up a path of 250 steps to reach the crater of Mt. Bromo (pic no. 2).
What a breathtaking view.
