Mount Bromo, (2,329m) East Java, Indonesia. ‘Suddenly the sun appeared,’ wrote Mike Smith, ‘daylight broke and we got brief clear views of a smoking Mount Bromo, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes. Mount Batok at its side and the majestic Semeru Volcano in the background.’ Reaching the summit of Mount Bromo takes legwork with the hope of catching a glimpse of the mighty peak in its pre-dawn glory. Travellers trek through the dark to arrive at the Penanjakan platform. When the sun edges over the hills you know the effort has been worth it as the volcano belches smoke and fire into the sky and mist envelops the valley below.
