Kawi-Butak

The broad Kawi-Butak volcanic massif lies immediately E of Kelut volcano and S of Arjuno-Welirang volcano. Gunung Kawi was constructed to the NW of Gunung Butak. No historical eruptions are known from either volcano, but both are primarily of Holocene age.

The broad Kawi-Butak volcanic massif rises above rice paddies below its SW flank. The forested volcano lies immediately east of Kelut volcano and south of Arjuno-Welirang volcano. The high point of the complex is flat-topped 2868-m-high Gunung Butak on the right horizon. The 2551-m-high Gunung Kawi (left-center) was constructed to the NW of Butak. No historical eruptions are known from either volcano, but both are primarily of Holocene age.
