History
Mount Batur sits in a young caldera formed by repeated eruptions; the 1963 eruption reshaped local lava fields still visible today and influenced settlement patterns around the lake.
Conservation
Stick to designated paths, limit single-use plastic, and support locally run facilities; geothermal and lake ecosystems are sensitive to trampling and pollution.
