HISTORIC VOLCANO FLIGHTS

• Mt. Rinjani Volcano Tour – Lombok - Famed for its beauty and isolation, Lombok’s Mt. Rinjani is Indonesia's second highest volcano. At 3,726 meters, it towers over Lombok, and boasts a ten-kilometer-wide crater - a habitat with deep gorges, towering walls, hot springs, waterfalls, and a
perfectly shaped volcanic cone. This strato-volcano’s oval-shaped Segara Anak caldera also contains a 230-m-deep lake. The earliest recorded eruption at Rinjani dates back to 1847 when a moderate explosion occurred. The most recent eruption was in October 2004 when smoke and a lava flow were detected.

Piper Chieftain - Flight Duration Approx. 1 hr 30 minutes – maximum of 6 passengers.

• Mt. Tambora Volcano Tour – Sumbawa (includes Mt. Rinjani Volcano) - Visit the volcano that was the location of the largest eruption in recorded history! When Mt. Tambora erupted in 1815, it caused a cataclysmic disaster and the deaths of 90,000 people. This event significantly altered the global climate for years. Universal crop failure occurred, temperatures dropped dramatically all over the world, and living creatures died off in large numbers. After being dormant for 5,000 years, Mt. Tambour woke up and over a ten-day period, unleashed its anger in an eruption that generated a volcanic column 40km high. This blast was heard over 1,000 kilometers away. The long-term effects of Mt. Tambour’s eruption were felt across the globe. In addition to the large quantities of ash, rocks and dust ejected by the volcano, over 200 million tons of sulfur dioxide gas was propelled into the stratosphere. This had the effect of limiting the amount of sunlight that reached the ground, so that temperatures, particularly across the Northern Hemisphere, began to fall dramatically. India’s monsoon season was interrupted, possibly leading to a deadly outbreak of cholera that insinuated its way across the globe. Europe experienced widespread crop failures just as it was recovering from the effects of the Napoleonic Wars. Ireland had its first great famine fueling a mass migration by the Irish to America. Devastating floods hit China. In North America, 1816 is remembered as "the year without a summer", when snow fell during June and frost was still widespread during the month of July.
