Geological summary

The small andesitic Baluran, dwarfed by its neighbor Ijen volcano to the SW, occupies the very NE tip of Java. Gunung Baluran contains a wide crater breached to the NE. The volcano lies within a national park and game reserve. It was considered by van Bemmelen (1949b) to be of Holocene age.

From Wikipedia

Baluran is a stratovolcano located on the island of Java. It is at the very northeast of the island and is overshadowed by its much larger neighbour Ijen. The mountain has not erupted in historical times, although it is considered to be of Holocene age.
