Java's Mount Bromo rises from the otherworldly Tengger Sand Sea and is best viewed at sunrise from the Penanjakan viewpoint, while Lombok's Mount Rinjani rewards multi-day trekkers with a turquoise crater lake at 3,726 metres. Flores' Kelimutu is famous for three crater lakes that shift independently between turquoise, green, red and black, and Kawah Ijen in East Java glows with electric blue sulphur flames after dark above the world's largest acidic crater lake. From Bali's holy Mount Agung to the still-growing Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait, this ranking covers ten of the archipelago's most dramatic peaks.
