The Geological Wonder of Mount Batur
Mount Batur sits within a massive caldera measuring approximately 13.8 km in length and 10 km in width—formed by a powerful eruption over 20,000 years ago.
Historically, this volcano was once estimated to reach heights of up to 4,000 meters. Today, its dramatic landscape still tells the story of its explosive past.
From 1804 to 2000, Mount Batur erupted at least 26 times, with the most significant eruption in 1926, reshaping the surrounding villages and leaving behind vast black lava fields still visible today.
