Mt. Semeru and Mt. Bromo in East Java

Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains approx numerous volcanoes, 20 of which have been active in historical times. Although earthquakes and catastrophic eruptions are a constant risk, the impact of Java's volcanoes is overwhelmingly positive both geologically and to human history. With over 100m residents, Java is one of the most densely populated islands in the world, which has been possible due to it being agriculturally highly productive. Volcanos are a major contributor to this fertility of land and high percipitation rate on the island. Climbing volcanoes (and other mountains) is increasingly popular.
