Gunung Lawu (mountain) (English spelling)

Japanese: ラウー[山](英語表記)Gunung Lawu
Gunung Lawu (mountain) (English spelling)
A volcano towering over central Java, Indonesia. Its beautiful cone-shaped form stands east of the ancient city of Surakarta. It erupted in the early 20th century, but is currently dormant. Its base is roughly circular and spreads over a vast area with a radius of about 35 km, and its foothills are fertile fields. Bengawan Solo (the Solo River) originates at the southern foot of the mountain and flows around the foothills to the west and north. There are ruins of Hindu culture at the summit, and Candi Sukuh (built in the 15th century) is known to be located halfway up the mountain.
