Tengger massif

The Tengger massif is a massif in East Java, Indonesia. The area is an active volcanic complex surrounded by a plain of sand, and is home to the Tenggerese and is named for the Tengger Kingdom. The Tengger people are an ethnic minority who believe they are the descendants of the Majapahit princes. Their population of roughly 600,000 is centered in thirty villages in the isolated Tengger mountains including Mount Bromo and areas within the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in Eastern Java.
