All activity in historic time in the Tengger Caldera has been at Bromo,
pyroclastic cone. Bromo, the steaming cone in this photo, has erupted at least 53 times since 1804. Most of these eruptions
are Strombolian in character. The most recent eruption was in 1984. Photograph courtesy of and copyrighted by Paul J. Buklarewicz.
