Mt. Rinjani Data
from
USGS ( United State Geology Survey
)
Country: Indonesia
Sub region Name: Lesser Sunda Islands (Indonesia)
Volcano Number: 0604-03=
Volcano Type: Stratovolcano
Volcano Status: Historical
Last Known Eruption: 2010
Summit Elevation: 3726 m 12,224 feet
Latitude: 8.42°S 8°25'0"S
Longitude: 116.47°E 116°28'0"E
One of the large craters called Lake Segara anak at 2000 meter above sea level is the
destination of many pilgrims who make the annual trek up the steep
slopes in order to place offerings to the Gods in the lake it's self.
This magnificent crater now holds a new and active volcano, Mt. Baru
Jari which appeared on this century. On the north side of the lake is
a hot spring ( one of 4 Segara anak hot springs found there) which is
believe by local to cure disease.
A model for echo tourism in Indonesia, It is trully an unforgetable experience to climb such impressive mountain as Rinjani and the 2 trekking
expeditions that offered and the spectacular scenery were contributing factors to Tinjani National Park winning the National Geographic World Tourism Award in 2004.
Starting points for such a trek can begin
at Senaru in the North or from Sembalun in the East, this two or three
days trek attacks Rinjani from West with a descent to awesome crater
lake before before again climbing up and out and on to the summit.
The
faster more direct route climbing to the Rinjani summit,
which is popular for those tourist that don't wish to
spend several days on this expedition, can be attempted
from Sembalun Climbing up Rinjani's Eastern slopes. This
trip does not visit the lake Segara Anak but is it still a
breathtaking and magic experience. The Rinjani
Summit Climbing can do for one night 2 days from Sembalun.
Suggestion
If you want more comfortable climbing to
Rinjani is it possible also to combine your trip with stay in Gili
Island or Senggigi, our recommendation take the trekking to Rinjani
first and do Relaxing at one of the Gili islands or Senggigi to
recovery from attempts the mount and pamper your self at world class
Spas offer by the accommodations.

Mount Rinjani Recent activity
Rinjani erupted three times on May 22nd 2010 with activity continuing
until early on May 23rd. According to the volcano's official
monitoring agency, ash from Mount Barujari has been reported as rising
up to two km into the atmosphere and has damaged crops. The volcano is
not currently threatening villagers. Lava flowed into the caldera
lake, pushing its temperature up from 21°C to 35°C, while smoke spread
12 km.
In February 2010 observers at the Mount Rinjani Observation Post
located 12.5 km (4000 feet) NE of Rinjani saw one whitish-colored
plume that rose 100 meters (328 ft) from the volcano. Dense whitish
plumes (and possibly brown) rose 500 metres (1,640 ft) - 900 metres
(2,953 ft) in March 2010 on 26 occasions and as high as 1,500 meters
(4,921 ft) in April 2010 on 41 occasions. Plumes seen on 1 and 2 May
2010 were "chocolate" in color and rose a maximum height of 1,600
meters (5,249 ft). From February 2010 through April 2010 seismicity
decreased, although the maximum amplitude of earthquakes increased.
CVGHM (Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) also
noted that ash eruptions and ejected incandescent material fell within
Rinjani caldera, but some ash was blown out of the caldera.
The activity in early 2010 centered about Gunung Barujari a
post-caldera cone that lies within the Rinjani's caldera lake of
Segara Anak. The Volcanological Survey of Indonesia reported on 1 May
2010, that a column of smoke was observed rising from mount Rinjani
"issuing eruptions 1300-1600 meters tall with thick brown color and
strong pressure". Their report Evaluasi Kegiatan mount Rinjani of 4
May also stated that on 1 May 2010 at 10:00 four events of Explosive
Earthquake were recorded with a maximum amplitude of 6-53 mm and 110
seconds long earthquake, earthquake tremor events with a maximum
amplitude of 1 mm and 55 second long duration, 15 Local Tectonic
earthquake events and two events of tectonic earthquake. The Volcanic
Explosivity Index (VEI) Alert Level was raised to 2 (on a scale of
1-4) on 2 May 2010. Level 1 is "Normal" and Level 2 is "Advisory" with
an Aviation Alert color of Yellow-Advisory. Based on analysis of
satellite imagery, the Darwin VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center)
reported that on 5 May a possible ash plume from Rinjani rose to an
altitude of 5.5 km (18,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 150 km NW. The plume
was not seen in imagery about six hours later. CVGHM (Center of
Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) advised the VAAC that
intermittent activity could produce ash plumes to 1.5 km (5,000 ft)
above the caldera.
On 27 April 2009 Gunung Barujari became active with activity
continuing through to May 2009. The mountain was closed at that time
as the eruptions intensified with plumes of smoke and ash as high as
8,000 m (26,250 ft). A Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI):2 rating was
issued for the activity between 2 May 2009 and 20 December 2009. The
activity during this period was described as having the
characteristics: of central vent eruption, flank (excentric) vent,
explosive eruption and lava flows.
