SEMERU MOUNTAIN

Mount Semeru or Mount Meru is a cone volcano in East Java, Indonesia. Mount Semeru is the highest mountain on Java Island, with its peak Mahameru, 3,676 meters above sea level (masl). This mountain was formed due to the subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate under the Eurasian Plate. Mount Semeru is also the third highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatra and Mount Rinjani in West Nusa Tenggara.[1] The crater at the top of Mount Semeru is known as Jonggring Saloko.


Administratively Mount Semeru is included in the territory of two regencies, namely Malang Regency and Lumajang Regency, East Java Province. This mountain is included in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area. Semeru has areas of Bukit Dipterocarp forest, Upper Dipterocarp forest, Montane forest, and Ericaceous forest or mountain forest. The geographical position of Semeru is between 8°06' South Latitude and 112°55' East Longitude.

In 1913 and 1946 Jonggring Saloka Crater had a dome with a height of 3,744.8 m until the end of November 1973. To the south, this dome broke into the edge of the crater causing lava flows to the south side covering the Pronojiwo and Candipuro areas in Lumajang.
