Admire the dazzling, electric-blue fire that can often be seen burning upward into the sky, glowing naturally from the sulfur-rich volcano. As the sun rises, the blue fire will turn to yellow and then fade away. Resting on the edge of the crater (2883m) you will have the opportunity to take pictures and enjoy the breathtaking panorama of this kilometre-wide, turquoise crater lake as the sun rises. You will also have the opportunity to contemplate the arduous job of the sulfur miners that go up and down the crater carrying loads of up to 80kg on their shoulders, on dangerous paths without much safety protection.

There are also Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship of manifestations of hot springs in the Cangar area in Batu City, heat reservoirs in the Kelud, Kasinan-Songgoriti, and and Padusan in the Mojokerto Regency [5]. Arjuno-Welirang geothermal systems based on gravity data analysis. Gravity data are obtained from Geodetic Satellite (GEOSAT) and European Remote Sensing-1 (ERS-1) Satellite which have been corrected to free air correction. The result of gravity data analysis is in the form of a complete Bouguer anomaly which represents the gravity anomaly below the surface. The results of the complete Bouguer anomaly value obtained were -15,238 mGal to 86,087 mGal. Based on these results, regional anomalies and residual anomalies will be separated to determine the depth of the two anomalies. 3D modeling was carried out based on the complete Bouguer anomaly data to determine the reservoir relationships in the Kelud, Kasinan-Songgoriti, and Arjuno-Welirang geothermal systems. Keywords : gravity data, complete Bouguer anomaly, Fig. 1. Research area map reservoir, geothermal, GEOSAT and ERS-1 Satellite. I. INTRODUCTION Indonesia is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire region, where there is an active plate meeting. The resulting effect is the emergence of volcanic activity along the path through the ring of fire. The magnitude of volcanic activity gives rise to considerable geothermal potential [1].

Read Full License Page 1/24 Abstract Indonesia is one of the most interesting targets for seismic tomographic studies due to its tectonic complexity. The subduction zone was formed when the Indian oceanic plate was subducted beneath the Eurasian continental plate. This activity caused the formation of volcanoes along the Sunda Arc, including the area of East Java. In this study, we aim to identify the inuence of volcanic activities which extends from the west to the east of East Java. We used the data of 1,383 earthquakes, recorded by the 22 stations of the Indonesia Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS) seismic network. We relocated the earthquakes and conducted a tomographic study using SIMULPS12. We then explored the anomalies of P- and S-wave velocities and Vp/Vs ratio. The low-velocity zone was observed in the volcanic area related to the partial melting zone or magma chamber with high Vp/Vs.

  • Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours
    Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours As an archipelago, Indonesia lays on the meeting of several tectonic plates. Geologically, it is the reason why Indonesia has many volcanoes stretched from the West to the East. Though it sounds worrying to remember how dangerous a volcano can be, the area can be the perfect place to explore instead. Volcanoes are known for its fertile land and scenic view. Apparently, volcano Indonesia tour can be found across the country and below are six of the best destinations. 1. Mount Rinjani, Lombok Lombok Island on the Eastern Indonesia has the magnificent Mount Rinjani and its craters. This active volcano has three craters from its past eruption called the Kelimutu Lake. Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatera. The lake has a magical view because each crater has different colors throughout the day. From afar, each of the craters would be seen to have green, blue, and red color. The local people have their own legend of the color of the craters. However, the color change might potentially be the result of the change in oxidation and reduction of the fluid in the craters. It may take around two days and one night to climb the mountain seriously and professionally. However, there are Indonesia tour packages that will offer an easier hiking option for beginners. 2. Mount Batur, Bali Mount Batur in Bali might be the easiest volcano to climb in the Indonesia tour list. In just less than three hours, you can get to the top of this active volcano.

Takashimaf a Geology Engineering Department of UPN Veteran Yogyakarta b Environmental Engineering Department of UPN Veteran Yogyakarta c Geology Agency d Pharmacy Study Program of PGRI Madiun University e Geology Engineering Department of ITB Bandung f Geological Department of Akita University Japan Abstract: The Ijen volcano has Pleistocene age (294.00 ± 0.03 Ma), and this stratovolcano was very acidic crater water with a pH of 0-1. The acidic crater water seeps into the Banyupait river flow. Asembagus is a research area located on the northern slope of the Ijen volcano, and the Banyupait River drains this. The acidic river water flows from the Ijen Crater Lake, so the pH of the water river was very acidic. This study used several different analytic methodologies with some previous researchers, namely using the method of geological mapping, pH measurement, spectrophotometry, IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer), and the technique of Induced Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Besides, the petrographic analysis is used to determine the composition of rock minerals due to rocks interacting with acidic water. Banyupait River water in the Asembagus area has a pH of river water around 3-7.3, SO4 (220-683 ppm), and the type of water is meteoric water. Also, concentrations of Ca, K, Mg in the west Banyupait river irrigation water flow showed higher levels when compared to the eastern Banyupait River water flow.

  • Java Grand Tour
    JAVAA Pre-tour of GRAND the 53rd AGA in Bali TOUR 11-18 October 2020 Yogyakarta - Borobudur- Prambanan - Bromo - Ijen - Kalibaru - Bayuwangi - West Bali National Park Cultural Historical Adventure Landcapes Beach and Sun TheJava heart of the nation of Indonesia, Java is a complex island of great antiquity: this, after all, is where ancient Java Man stood upright and walked abroad. As such the island, home today to 140 million people and the most popu- lated island on earth, is defined primarily by people. Human ingenuity has left the island sprinkled with ancient treasures, such as the temples of Borobudur and Pram- banan. It has also shaped a culture that resonates in modern life, as expressed through the artistic traditions of Yogyakarta and Solo, and contributes to the modern dynamism of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. Java’s megacities may be crowded and gridlocked but they have a restless energy that is magnetic. People have shaped the natural landscape too, giving it an urban texture that runs in slithers through the pea-green paddy fields. Add in nature’s splendours – smoking volcanoes, rainforest and polished white beaches – and Java becomes irresistible. The Grand Java Tour begins in Yogyakarta in Central Java to witness the great temples of Prambanan and Boro- budur; from Yogyarkarta, journey to the iconic landscape of Bromo in East Java, with an astounding view of volca- noes; walk in giant underground caverns and see the “Blue Lava” of Ijen. The trip will be capped off with a stay at the West Bali National Park where there is excellent snorkelling and you will have time to relax before being driven to the Melia Hotel in Nusa Dua in Bali.
