Kawi-Butak

Stratovolcano · Indonesia · 2651m

The broad Kawi-Butak volcanic massif rises above rice paddies below its SW flank. The forested volcano lies immediately east of Kelud volcano and south of Arjuno-Welirang volcano. The high point of the complex is flat-topped Gunung Butak on the right horizon. Gunung Kawi (left-center) was constructed to the NW of Butak. Both are primarily of Holocene age.
