Smoldering Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia
When Mount Bromo is steaming and smoking, this may be as close as any of us can get to the famous caldera in East Java, Indonesia. But the many visitors who hike up this and some of the other volcanic peaks in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park help fuel the local tourist economy. Bromo was rumbling as recently as 2015, and has erupted three other times in the past 20 years.
