A thin blue light lifts over the caldera as the jeep rumbles to a halt on the Mount Batur ridge. Cooler air bites at exposed skin and the silhouette of Mount Abang and Lake Batur resolve from shadow; the driver sets out a simple breakfast while the sky shifts from indigo to copper. Watching the sunrise from a 4WD trims the effort out of the climb but keeps the raw theatre — steam rising from the crater, wind pushing across volcanic rock, and distant peaks puncturing the horizon.
