Discovering Batur’s Volcanic Beauty: A Guide to Its Significance

In Walking It is Solved overview

I’d seen Batur from the plane coming in — a beautiful speck. At only 1,700 metres above sea level in comparison to Agung’s regal 3,000 metres, Batur’s relative smallness belies its significance. Batur’s caldera, including a sacred lake, sits on the site of an ancient supervolcano. Granted World Heritage status in 2012, the sprawling carpet of green falling off its sides is indicative of its past destruction and subsequent fertility.
