Flores'teki volkanlar ve zirveler

Volcanic Peaks of Flores

Flores is defined by its position on the Pacific Ring of Fire, featuring a chain of active and dormant volcanoes that shape the island's rugged backbone. This collection includes the iconic Kelimutu with its three chemically reactive, color-changing crater lakes, and the distinct twin peaks of Lewotobi. From the perfectly symmetrical cone of Inerie near Bajawa to the expansive caldera lake of Wai Sano, these peaks showcase diverse geological formations including lava domes, sulfurous craters, and high-altitude montane forests.
