Tengger Mountains - Tenggersanchi (English spelling) Tengger

Japanese: テンゲル山地 - てんげるさんち(英語表記)Tengger
Tengger Mountains - Tenggersanchi (English spelling) Tengger

A mountainous region in the eastern part of Java, Indonesia. It is made up of a group of volcanoes with caldera topography stretching 10 km from east to west and 8 km from north to south. Mount Bromo (2,581 meters) is the central crater cone, surrounded by somma mountains, including the highest peak, Penanjakan (2,770 meters). The inside of the caldera is a desert-like terrain, but at the foot of the somma, plantation agriculture such as natural rubber and coffee has developed. To the south of this mountain range rises Mount Semeru (3,676 meters), the highest peak on Java.
