Kelimutu is a volcano, close to the small town of Moni about 50 km to the east of Ende, Indonesia in central Flores Island of Indonesia.
The volcano contains three
striking summit crater lakes of
varying colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People) is usually blue and is the
westernmost of the three lakes. The other two lakes, Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai
(Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake)
are separated by a shared crater wall and are typically green or red
respectively. The lake colors vary on a periodic basis.
Subaqueous fumaroles are
the probable cause of active upwelling that
occurs at the two eastern lakes.
To the indigenous people,
the mountain is holy, and a token of God’s blessings. It provides fertility to
the surrounding lands.
So, Whats up next???
Planing to visit this place?
