Mount Penanggungan

Mount Penanggungan (Indonesian: Gunung Penanggungan, literally "Mount of the Suspension" or "Burden-Bearing Mountain") is a small stratovolcano, immediately north of the Arjuno-Welirang volcanic complex in East Java province, Java island, Indonesia. Mount Penanggungan is about 40 kilometers (24.8 mi) south of Surabaya, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Several Hindu-Buddhist sanctuaries, sacred places and monuments are on the western slope of the mountain dating from AD 977–1511. Lava flows and pyroclastic deposits are around the volcano.
