Ijen plateau or known as "Kawah Ijen" is
highly recommended to mountain buffs and hikers. The Plateau was at one
time a huge active crater, 134 sq km in area. Today, Ijen is a quiet
but active volcano, and the landscape is dominated by the volcanic cones
of Ijen (2,368 asl) and Merapi (2,800 asl) on the northeastern edge of
the Plateau, and Raung (3,332 asl) on the southwest corner.
