Kamis, 05 Maret 2009 komentar



Krakatau Islands vulkanik which is still active and located in the Sunda between Java and Sumatra. This name is never disematkan on a volcanic peak in there that, because the eruption on 26-27 August 1883, and sirna. Letusannya very formidable diakibatkannya and tsunami that killed about 36,000 people. Until December 26, 2004, the tsunami is that terdahsyat in the Indian Ocean region. Voice is heard to bang in Alice Springs, Australia, and Africa, near the island of Rodrigues, 4653 kilometers. Ledaknya power is estimated to reach 30,000 times diledakkan the atom bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.
Krakatau eruption caused global climate change. The world was dark for two and a half hours due to volcanic dust that covered the atmosphere. The sun is shining dim until next year. Hamburan dust in the sky appear to Norway to New York.
Krakatau explosion is still less than the eruption of Mount Toba and Mount Tambora in Indonesia, Gunung Tanpo in New Zealand and Mt Katmal in Alaska. However, these mountains in the remote detonate the human population is very small. Meanwhile, when Mount Krakatau erupt, the human population is dense enough, science and technology has developed, is found telegraph, and cable have been installed under the sea. Thus it can be said that while information technology is growing and developing rapidly.
Noted that the eruption of Mount Krakatau is the first great disaster in the world after the invention of telegraph under the sea. Progress is, unfortunately, has not been offset by progress in the field of geology. The geologist was not even able to give explanations on the explosion is.

Development of Mount Krakatau
Mount Krakatau Ancient
See the area of Mount Krakatau in the Sunda, experts estimate that in the ancient period there is a huge mountain in the Sunda that eventually burst leaving a tremendous kaldera a (big mouth) called Ancient Mount Krakatau, which is the parent of Mount Krakatau in the burst 1883. This mountain of rocks arranged andesitik.
Notes on the Ancient Krakatau eruption taken from a text titled Ancient Javanese King Reader Parwa estimated comes from the year 416 BC. The contents, among other states:
"It's the sound of thunder comes from the thunder of Mount Batuwara. There is also a frightening jolt the earth, total darkness, thunder and lightning. Then came the wind and rain storms which chilling and all the storms darken the world. A big flood came from the Mount Batuwara and flow to the east toward Mount Kamula .... When water menenggelamkannya, Java separate into two, creating Sumatra island
"
Geological experts B.G. Escher and several other experts argued that the nature of the incident told comes from the Ancient Krakatau Mount, in which the text is called the Mount Batuwara. According to the book Reader Parwa King, the Ancient Krakatau higher reaches 2000 meters above sea level, and a circle 11 kilometers to reach the beach.
Due to the great explosion, the three-quarters of the body Ancient Krakatau destroyed leaving kaldera (large craters) in the Sunda. Hand-side or edge kawahnya known as Rakata Island, Long Island and Island Sertung, in another note called the island of Rakata, Rakata Island and Small Island Sertung. That this mountain eruption responsible for the occurrence of medieval darkness in the earth. Disease bubonic plague occur because of temperature freeze. This plague is significantly reducing the number of people in the face of the earth.
Bursting is also considered to participate on at least the end the triumph of the ancient Persian, Roman transmutasi Kingdom to the Kingdom of Byzantium, the end of South Arabia, extinction large Maya city, Tikal and the fall of the Nazca in South America full of puzzles. Ancient Krakatau explosion is estimated to last for 10 days with an estimated speed of vomitus mass reach 1 million tons per second. Explosion has been formed shield the atmosphere setebal 20-150 meters, lower the temperature of 5-10 degrees for 10-20 years.
The emergence of Mount Krakatau


Development of Mount Krakatau
Rakata island, which is one of the three remaining islands of Mount Krakatau Ancient and grow in accordance with the encouragement vulkanik in the belly of the earth, known as Mount Krakatau (or Gunung Rakata) made of rock basaltik. Then, two volcano emerged from the crater, named Danan Mountain and Mount Perbuwatan which then integrates with Mt Rakata that appears first. Unity this is the third volcano called Mount Krakatau.
Mount Krakatau erupt once in the year 1680 produced lava andesitik acid. Then in 1880, Mount Perbuwatan active lava issued but not erupt. After that time, no more volcanic activity at Krakatau to 20 May 1883. On that day, 200 years after the fall, a small explosion occurred at Mount Krakatau. That marks the beginning of a future eruption in the Sunda terrible. Small explosion and then followed this with a bang-bang small peak occurred in 26-27 August 1883.
Erupsi 1883
On Monday, 27 August 1883, 10:20 hours exactly, meledaklah mountain. According to Simon Winchester, a graduate geologist Oxford English author who is also the National Geographic said that the explosion was the greatest, most hard sound and the most vulkanik events meluluhlantakkan in modern human history. Letusannya voice heard until 4600 km from the center of explosion and can be heard even by 1 / 8 of the earth at that time.
According to researchers at the University of North Dakota, with explosion explosion Krakatau Tambora (1815) notes the value of volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) in modern history. The Guinness Book of Records record the explosion of Krakatau explosion as the most powerful in recorded history.
Krakatau explosion was stone-pumice and ash vulkanik with volume 18 cubic kilometers. Bursts of dust vulkanisnya mencavai 80 km. Objects of the air flow to the fall in the island of Java and Sumatra and even to Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand.
Eruption that destroyed the Mount Danan, Mount Perbuwatan and part of Mount Rakata where half kerucutnya lost, making cavity selebar 7 km deep and 250 meters. Sea waves rising up to 40 meters destroy the villages and what you are in the coastal beach. Tsunami relief is not only due to detonation, but also soil erosion under the sea.
The number of victims who died reached 36,417 people came from 295 villages from the coastal area of Merak (Serang) to Cilamaya in Karawang, to the west coast of Banten on the island of Tanjung Layar Panaitan (Ujung Kulon, and the southern Sumatra. Ujungkulon in, the flood go to 15 km to the west. The next day until a few days later, the Jakarta and Lampung hinterland no longer see the sun. Gelombang Tsunami caused even spread to the coast of Hawaii, the west coast of Central America and the Arab Peninsula 7 thousand kilometers away
Son of Krakatau


Son of Krakatau
Start in 1927 or approximately 40 years after Mount Krakatau meletusnya, appear volcano known as the Son of Krakatau kaldera ancient region that is still active and still be high. High-speed growth of about 20 inches per month. Each year it becomes more about 20 feet high and 40 feet wider. Note the addition of another high-about 4 cm per year and if it is calculated, then in 25 years time the addition of high child Rakata reached 7500 inches or 500 feet higher than the previous 25 years. The cause of the high mountains is caused by the material out of the belly of the mountain that new. When the Son of Krakatau is the height reached around 230 meters above sea level, while Mount Krakatau have previous high of 813 meters above sea level.
According to Simon Winchester, despite what happens in the life of Krakatau, which was very scary, reality-reality geological, seismic and tektonik in Java and Sumatra that will ensure that the strange what happens on the first of these will happen again. No one is sure to know when will the Son of Krakatau erupt. Some experts predict geological eruption will occur in between 2015-2083. However, the influence of the earthquake in the bottom of the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004 also can not be ignored.
According to Professor Ueda Nakayama one vulcanologist berkebangsaan Japan, the Son of Krakatau is still relatively safe and active even though there is often a small explosion, there are only certain times of the tourists are prohibited from approaching the danger area and the red-hot lava that dimuntahkan this volcano. Other experts claim that there is no coherent theory about the Son of Krakatau that will erupt again. Even if there is at least 3 centuries or more after the 2325 M. However, the clear, the number of victims caused more awesome than the previous eruption.

Mount Krakatau, which languish Icon

Although the actual area in the Province of Lampung, this has become the Mount Krakatau Banten tourism icons. The difference between the "area" and the "icon" has become one of the reason why the mountain is like a sweet girl kemolekannya seems not be maintained.

As the icons of tourism, it is not difficult to introduce the Mount Krakatau. Each primary school teachers in Indonesia certainly never mentions the name of the mountain which is located in the Sunda is time to give lessons to the students.

Easily introduce Gunung Krakatau was 122 years ago, exactly 27 August 1883, the mountain had great burst. Eruption that caused the tsunami along the coast south of the west coast of Sumatra and West Java. When, more than 36,000 inhabitants to become victims of tragedy eruption of Mount Krakatau.

Bursting activity is also the (parent) Mount Krakatau. At this time, just like that mountain mound of soil and filled with pine tree-fern plants pakuan the tower in the middle of the sea.

New in 1927, around the location of explosion-relief mound-like mountains of fire in the vicinity of Mount Krakatau. People then take the mound of Mount Anak Krakatau as the still active until now.

Mount Anak Krakatau is located in the middle of the island between Sertung, Rakata Island, and the island of Rakata Besar. Rakata Besar for now it is called Gunung Krakatau is now no longer active. Arising after 78 years, now reaching a high Son of Krakatau 315 meters above sea level.

From a distance, Mount Anak Krakatau is visible black grayish because most of it consists of gravel and black sand. There are only a few pine trees encircle the foot of the mountain located in the middle of the Sunda.

New tourism

Retention of Mount Krakatau meletusnya will never be cracked by time. Events that have been recorded in the history of the world. Until now, all elementary school teachers to notify certain events meletusnya Mount Krakatau as the biggest disaster in Indonesia in the century XIX.

Krakatau eruption would dread that some time had a vision back. Precisely when the Department of Children set Vulkanologi Mount Krakatau in Waspada or standby status.

However, the horror that can not hide the elegance of Mount Anak Krakatau. Halusnya carpet black sand beach and the beautiful cliffs of the mountains into force, which is always interesting people to visit that place.

Children in Mt Krakatau beaches, tourists can relax while enjoying the Sunda deburan wave of blue. Mount Krakatau (parent) is colored greenness can also be seen from the beach at the foot of Mount Anak Krakatau.

At least tourists who visit the place every day, and the absence of a mobile phone signal, making the coast of Mount Anak Krakatau is also a comfortable place to calm themselves.

Around the coast of Mount Anak Krakatau also be used as camping places. However, if you spend the night there, tourists should bring a lot of water in the area because there is no source of water.

The beauty of the area that will be enjoyed if you can climb Mount Anak Krakatau. After about 200 meters uphill, under the sea legs will look like a mountain lake surrounded by the blue group of islands. While the hill-like curve at the bottom of the mountain close to the visible sky. The peak of Mount Anak Krakatau is colored grayish look swell in the sand hills between the mengelilinginya.

The beautiful scenery from the top of the hill at the foot of Mount Anak Krakatau seems able to overcome this heat the air region. In fact, besides sengatan sun burn the skin, hot weather also caused by sand and gravel mountain.

Unfortunately, there are few tourists who visit Mount Anak Krakatau. Rahman, a guide origin Labuan, Banten, say, every sunday they only take about 10-20 tourists to Mount Anak Krakatau. "In fact, almost no previous who want to come here, especially after the tsunami in Aceh," he said.

According to Rahman, who visited Mount Anak Krakatau in general the expatriates. They generally depart from the beach Anyer, Carita, Labuan and a distance of approximately 48 kilometers from Mount Anak Krakatau.

This is justified Susanty Widya Ningsih, Public Relations Officers Hotel Sol Elite Marbella, Anyer, Banten. "Guests our hotel, especially the expatriates, the general purpose of Krakatau as their main tourism, the other areas such as ethnic or Baduy Ujung Kulon Reserve Station," he said.

This happens because of the history of major natural and very beautiful, Mount Anak Krakatau may be for one day trip. If the weather being good, Mount Anak Krakatau may be for 1.5 hours drive from Anyer beach with boat speed.

Ansori, a guide to Mount Anak Krakatau other, adding, after enjoying the natural beauty of Mount Krakatau, expatriates generally ago the island of Rakata Besar go for fishing, diving, or lunch.

Until now, coral reefs around the coast of the island of Rakata Besar still well awake. Therefore, from the top of the boat can be seen different types of colorful fish that wriggle-bend around the reef on the sidelines of selanya ditumbuhi various plants of the sea.

Unfortunately, not every time the beauty of Mount Anak Krakatau that can be enjoyed. According Ansori, when the west wind came, the months around November to January, there is practically no tourists who come to it because there is no boat that would take. "Ombaknya very large. We do not dare to it, "he said.

Not the size of the waves that are the main problem why this is only for the many expatriates who came to Mount Anak Krakatau. The problem thus lies in the high cost of the natural tourism object is lovely nan.

Rates to rent a boat with 15-20 people from the Krakatau Beach Anyer go home now around Rp 7 million. For smaller boats, capable of carrying five passengers, cost about Rp 2 million. "If the fee plus lunch and snack, every person needs approximately Rp 500,000 a day to travel home went Anyer-Krakatau," said Ansori.

However, the cost of Rp 500,000 per person not including the cost of insurance and the purchase of tickets. "Now do not have tickets for the official entrance area of Mount Anak Krakatau. Before 2002 there was the post purchase tickets at the entrance Labuan. Penjaganya from Lampung. But, after that no more, "said Ansori.

Ironically, not only guards the ticket, the official keeper of Mount Anak Krakatau also does not have. In fact, the decree (SK) of the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Forestry No 85/Kpts.II / 1990 dated 26 February 1990, the area of Mount Anak Krakatau and surrounding area has been defined as a marine reserve.

Officers from the Central Natural Resources Conservation (BKSDA), which manages the area was only one-time coming, especially when there are tourists. That was only to ask the customs, without proof of entrance tickets.

In addition to the treasury disadvantage because there are no official income, lack of guards in the vicinity of Mount Anak Krakatau also make the area was not maintained as it were. Various organic and inorganic waste into visible along the coast.

Waste-waste that, especially inorganic waste, most suspected of tourists who visited Mount Anak Krakatau.

Ansori suspect, less terurusnya area of Mount Anak Krakatau is due to the tension between the Province of Banten and Lampung in the management area. Province does not feel the need to participate in managing the non Krakatau region. While the Province of Lampung reluctant because despite the entry in the area, they did not feel economic benefit the least. Section, almost all tourists to the Mount Anak Krakatau and surrounding areas always departs from, the coast of Anyer, Carita, or Labuhan.

Until now, about who is most responsible for the Children of Mount Krakatau is not able to beat the beauty of the area. But, however, that vagueness should be terminated because the preservation of nature there must be continued despite disruption of all are very small or negligible.

Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the kings of Old Mataram Kingdom, the descendant of Sailendra dynasty. Based on Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur was a place of worship which was completed 26 May 824, almost one hundred years since the initial build. Borobudur own name according to some people that means a terraced mountain-terrace (budhara), while some others say that Borobudur means monastery, located in the high places.

Six levels below the square-shaped and three levels on top of one circular and the highest level in the form of a Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. Available mahzab Mahayana Buddhism, the people who want to reach the level of the Buddha must have all levels of life.
The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing the human appetite is still bound. Four-called top level in the human Rupadhatu was able to free itself from lust, but still bound to the form and shape. At these levels, a statue of Buddha placed open. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddha are placed in a stupa called holey Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who had freed from lust, appearance, and shape. The top of which is called the Nirwana Arupa, where the Buddha reside.
Each level has a beautiful relief-relief that shows how skillfully the author. Relief will be legible in runtut when you walk clockwise (the left of the entrance of temple). At Borobudur reliefnya tells a story about a very melegenda, the Ramayana. In addition, there is also relief that describes the conditions at that time. For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the progress of the agricultural system at that time and the ship is a relief representation of the progress of the voyage at that time Bergotta (Semarang).

If you want to play the water, just around the waterfall only. The cold water flows with swift enough between large stones, especially during the rainy season. Very fun to play in the water between the large stones. Moreover, grain cold water from the waterfall to splatter our bodies, adding freshness.

For those who like swimming, provided two swimming pools for children and adults. We do not pay any sepeser to enjoy this facility, except if we want to rent or ban clothing pool.

Also quite tiring trip to this waterfall. From the entrance, we have hundreds of children down the stairs before reaching the location of waterfalls. Left on the right road, primates roam between vegetation growth, including resin, pine, bendo, and many other large trees.

In some corners of the stair, provided for a gazebo feel fatigue menapak hundreds of these children. Feeling tired but will terobati immediately after we reached the location of waterfalls:)

For the spirited adventurer, there is a hill that is ready to be explored, with the very nature captivate. Even the pair of middle dimabuk also love if you want to get the facilities in tandem location quiet. But be careful, lest kebablasan:)

Go Location
If you get off at Terminal Tirtonadi Solo, you can take bus direction Solo - Tawangmangu, with rates around 3500 rupiah. Travel for 1.5 hours through the city Karanganyar, then go through the uphill road Tawangmangu and serpentine. If it does not always go by bus, prepare a plastic bag at any time if the stomach contents should dimuntahkan:)

Bus department Solo - Tawangmangu only operate until 18:00 o'clock. Accidents often occur in the road, so on the night of the bus does not operate. If you are benighted, you can rent a car in the lot around the terminal Tirtonadi. However, you must first bargaining with the sopirnya.

Cold already so we can taste the buses start entering Karangpandan area. You will pass a park with a large statue of Semar, stranded in the middle of the garden. Formerly, the location is the Garden of Semar who now have no visitors.

You will go down in Terminal Tawangmangu. In front of this terminal, there is a traditional market, where you can buy various kinds of by-by to take home. From this terminal, you can walk to the waterfall tourism, transportation or ride L300 which usually also carry vegetables. You just pay the dollar in 1000 alone.

Sesampainya at the gate of tourism, please pay the entry ticket. Do not tempt primates to be about you, if you do not want to bear the risk.

Sate Rabbit
One of the favorite menu in Grojogan Sewu rabbit sate is commonly sold in locations around the waterfalls. Typically, it provides a floor mat to enjoy the rabbit sate lesehan. The price is only 5000 to 6000 rupiah saja. Quite cheap and delicious. Especially if accompanied by the tea warm.

In addition to sate rabbit, chicken sate is also the same price with rabbit sate. It is not much different. There are also selling roasted corn, which is very delicious.

For the visitor who does not forget a pad or mat, no worries. Many provide rental services business. There is no time limit rentals. Charge is quite cheap, and does not need to pay in advance. Repotnya but sometimes when we are finished using the mats, but the owner already knows where to go. If it is so, does not need to worry. Titipkan only to the friends of a fellow owner mats.

Horse ride
Location outside the waterfall, there are many rental horses can be walking around tourism. No need to worry, this horse is tame, and your trip will be accompanied by a horse owner.

Lake Toba is located in the area north sumatra. Kisahnya, the lake is' born 'from the eruption of Mount Merapi, and to this day known as the lake vulkanik night of the world. Beautiful panorama of Lake Toba appears to start the morning until sunset. So, if one does not become a nominator of Lake Toba on the wonders of the world event in 2008.

Not because I grew up in Lake Toba, but because I really will be amazed Benar2 lake Toba. Until the age of 21 years now, I am still a little daerah2 which encircle the lake Toba. However, I will be amazed Benar2 beauty.

In the middle of Lake Toba, there are islands called the island of Samosir. Formerly, this island is surrounded Benar2 the lake Toba. However, in line with the development of the era and the demands of life that should be completely quickly, I do not wrong, has dirintis way to connect the mainland with an island of Samosir land other (I forget his name, and this in sayup2 I really remember).

Time in 2006, we (along with the 05 PI-Del), Lake Toba was beset with the boat. Of course not all the fringe of Lake Toba surround us, a few only. I do get the areas which surround us, I remember that yesterday we to Batu Gantung. Kisahnya have a girl child who jumps to the lake Toba as forced marriage. I do not why, there is a stone-like girl and dog.

I also had to Tomok, tuk-tuk, Simanindo, and of course Pangururan Parapat. I want menyebrang from Parapat to Samosir Island, we use a certain ship (sea) transportation. Pas in the boat, the air cool and looks a vast lake Toba with the azure water.

I am fit to tuk-tuk, I also have ngeliat island (very small) of water surrounded the lake Toba. But according to friends who live in Tomok, the island was sold to the citizens of Dutch tourists. Unfortunately, if such situation.

I own clan (Batak ethnic group-red) Samosir. I also had to Onan Runggu. There is a potential area of beach used as a mini. But unfortunately not very good citizens and used the local government. And finally there grew water hyacinth with buasnya.

But it's just secuil from the 'evil' in the Lake Toba, and itupun due to human-based ulah around. More keindahan2 Lake Toba which is still foreign community in the ear, such as the beauty of Lake Toba in Pangururan so clear, the lake Toba in Pusuk Buhit that surrounded the mountain (which is not dijamah hand man), so that the original value of Lake Toba.
