Two out of the three Kelimutu plunging craters, near Moni (Flores - Indonesia). Kelimutu volcano (5379 ft) is certainly the Flores' main tourist attraction. Sacred to local people, it shows to sightseers three Lakes: a Turquoise coloured between a Brown and a Black ones. It is thought that their colours are in constant flux due to dissolving minerals. Deux des trois cratères escarpés du Kelimutu, près de Moni (Florès - Indonésie). Le volcan Kelimutu (1640 m) est certainement l' attraction touristique principale de Florès. Sacré pour les habitants de la région, il montre trois Lacs aux visiteurs: celui qui est de couleur Turquoise est entre un lac de couleur Noire et un autre Brun foncé. L' on pense que ces couleurs - qui varient périodiquement - sont dues aux minéraux dissous.
