Site Description
|
|
| |
Most of the area is hilly with sharp relief configuration (over 30%) except in the eastern and southern parts which are relatively flat. There is a lake in the Ijen Crater measuring approximately 911m from the east to the west, and 600m from north to south. The reserve includes the crater lake of Ijen. The volume of this crater is about 36,260 m3 and has many sulphur fumeroles. The crater is beautiful. Much of the area forested is fine climax Casuarina (Cemara) forest and Albizzia montane forest. The grass plains of the Ijen higlands are dominated by Themida, Saccharum spontaneum and Cymbopogon vardus. The western slope of the Ijen Crater is very frequently burnt, so that even the cemara trees are dying out. Albizzia forest occurs only on the very steep slopes and mud-streams. The Ijen massif is the source of many rivers, irrigating the many rice plantations in the density populated lowlands.
Principal vegetation: Ficus spp., Schleichera oleosa, Pternis wallichiana. |

You might get a lift or hire some other kind of transportation to ride all the way to the end of the road, which ends 3 km past Linci. From there it's a 3 hours walk to Pos Paltuding. The 3 km climb to the crater will take another three hours.
