JOURNEY TO BROMO : THE SEA OF SAND

#indonesiatrip The black sand of Bromo is a unique geological feature found in the vicinity of Mount Bromo, an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia. This volcanic sand is created through the erosion and weathering of the surrounding volcanic rock over time. Its distinctive coloration comes from the high concentration of basalt, an iron-rich volcanic mineral. Visitors to Mount Bromo often marvel at the stark contrast between the dark black sand and the surrounding lush green landscape, creating a dramatic and otherworldly scenery. Tips: wear mask and sunglasses or anything to cover your mouth and eyes as strong wind can cause the sand flying over your face.
