We were lucky to be able to see into Aso Volcano's active Nakadake Crater 1 today! The cloud ceiling descended during our time at the volcano and it started to rain. As we walked down to the Aso Sanjo Terminal to catch a bus back to Aso Station, we could see the crater observation area enveloped in clouds. The weather improved away from the central volcano peaks in the afternoon. But, the peaks still remained in the clouds. #AsoVolcano #Nakadake #volcaniccrater #Aso #Kumamoto #Kyushu #Japan
Der Vulkankrater Kerið in Island entstand vor etwa 6.500 Jahren durch den Einsturz des Kraterbodens nach dem Abfluss von Magma. Seine steilen, roten Wände aus oxidiertem Vulkanstein bilden einen starken Kontrast zum tiefblauen Wasser im Kratersee, der den Grundwasserspiegel widerspiegelt. Mit einer Tiefe von rund 55 Metern und einer ovalen Form ist Kerið ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis der vulkanischen Aktivität Islands und Teil eines jungen Lavafeldes.
