Mt. Semeru and Mt. Bromo in East Java

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