Indonesia's Dry Spell: Wildfires Rage On, A Looming Threat to Tourism and Environment The unseasonal dry spell that has gripped Indonesia has brought a new wave of wildfires to the country's popular tourist destinations.
The recent blaze at Mount Bromo, an active volcano and one of the country's most iconic attractions, was eventually extinguished after spreading across 20 hectares of land around its caldera.
An investigation is ongoing into the cause of the fire, but authorities suspect carelessness on the part of a visitor.
