First of all it gets dang cold at Bromo and this stupid pic is just some retard messing with your mind. Bromo is one of the most amazing places on earth and its like taking a trip to the moon, the sun rise at Bromo should be a wonder of the modern world, but Indo doesnt get the publicity it deserves

No. I’ve visted Mt. Bromo many times. There’s no fish farm in there. I’m pretty sure this is a technical problem during the photographing process. There’s no ice can be formed in Mt. Bromo. The lowest temp could only reach 10C or around 40F.

Theise are fish farms. I’ve visited just to the north of the lake. It gets very cold, and the lake freezes over - hense the white ice! Only half the lake it icy becase there is a picture boundry - one taken in winter, one som other time.

Kirk, the isolated compound is apparently a Hindu temple, check out this photo:

and

Just slightly to the south of the temple you can see the start of the steep path and on the end is a ledge to look in the caldera.

I saw them just now and i’m sure they’re definitely fish farms. Note the southeast in the lake, the same constructions in the water. These on the beach are not used at this moment.

Just Slightly North of the Volcano is a large and very isolated compound. Perhaps a prison because of the double fence around one of the areas. I don’t even see an axcess road. I wonder what that is and why is it so close to an active volcano.

jammerx is right, they are fish farms. if they where to divert the lava flow, then why would they be in the water? anyway, you can see houses built[presumably on stilts]next to the fish farms: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

Alan, I thought it was a cloud too, but it *is* an active volcano, and this picture convinced me this was actually coming from the volcano! (See the Placemark: Semeru / Google Earth volcano for another fine example)

Here’s a list of volcanoes on Wikipedia - most of which have linked lat/longs for easy viewing on your favourite map source.
