You arrive before dawn with the jeep grinding over black sand, headlights cutting low through a cool, mineral-scented air. At the Bromo sunrise viewpoint the sea of sand and hulking cones sit like sleeping giants; the sun slides up and the caldera’s ridgelines sharpen into stiff, wind-swept silhouettes.
