The SE side of the larger 10 x 13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera, which was formed during emplacement of the Bali (or [Lake-Batur];-Batur-cone-has-been-constructed-within-the-inner-caldera-to-a-height-above-the-outer-caldera-rim.-The-Batur-title="Ubud) ignimbrite, has been dated at about 23,670 and 28,500 years ago (Wheller 1986, Sutawidjaja et al. 1992). The SE wall of the inner caldera lies beneath Batur]; Batur cone has been constructed within the inner caldera to a height above the outer caldera rim. The Batur stratovolcano" title="[Stratovolcano">stratovolcano">[Stratovolcano">stratovolcano] has produced vents over much of the inner caldera, but a NE-SW fissure system has localized the Batur I, II, and III craters along the summit ridge. Historical eruptions have been characterized by mild-to-moderate explosive activity sometimes accompanied by [lava] emission. lava] flows from both summit and flank vents have reached the caldera floor and the shores of Batur] in historical time. The caldera contains an active, 700-meter-tall stratovolcano rising above the surface of [[Lake Batur. The first historically documented eruption of Batur was in 1804, and it has been frequently active since then. Batur Batur, Mount Batur, Mount Batur, Mount
