Dawn splits the high saddle above Sembalun; headlamps bob like slow fireflies as climbers pick their way over volcanic scree toward a thin, cold horizon. By 06:00 the crater rim opens into a panorama—Segara Anak lake below, the three Gili islands like coins on the sea, and clouds sliding through the caldera as if the mountain itself were breathing.
