Bali has two volcanoes that have been playing a significant role in the distinction of Bali. They are called the Batur volcano and the Agung volcano. Located on the eastern part and the highest point of Bali one can find the Agung volcano, which is still active. Its last recorded eruption was in the 1963 and today what remains is a very deep crater that emanates smoke and ash. This stratovolcano influences the climate in a significant way for it contributes to the maintaining of a lush green west.
North West of Agung volcano is the Batur volcano which is the most active of all volcanoes in Indonesia and is one of the greatest tourist attractions. Shaped as a cone amidst the sceneric beauty of the caldera and the mesmerising lake, Batur volcano is one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Bali. It is an active volcano that has been dated back in history for approximately 28, 500 years. To the south east of Mount Batur one can find the scientifically fascinating Caldera Lake. This cauldron shaped formation is a reult of a volcanic eruption and is fascinating and worth the exploration.
The history of Mount Batur records several explosions ranging between mild eruptions to somewhat moderate outbreaks followed by lava emissions. Since its first historically acknowledged eruption in the 1804, the Batur Volcano has been active since then.
