Mountain Rinjani, Lombok

The third highest of Indonesia's 129 active volcanoes, Rinjani rises 3.726 meters above sea level on Lombok Island. Sorrounded by nastional park, Rinjani is characterized by lush rainforest clinging to its slopes, and a huge caldera, today a crater lake thought to be 2.000 meters deep.

Trekking to the rim ia a great way to get an overview of the island, but it's not without risk, the vulcano from time to time spits out plumes of ash and lava. So, becarefully if yo go on there.
