Volcano architecture: the small Barujari Volcano growing inside the caldera of Rinjani Volcano (Lombok Island, Indonesia). Mount Rinjani and its large crater lake (Segara Anak) are thought to have formed when Mount Samalas, which stood next to Mt Rinjani, erupted in 1257. This eruption was colossal in scale and is believed to have contributed to a period of global cooling and mini ice age. Mount Rinjani last erupted on 27th September 2016.
