Keli Mutubuurai, Volcano in Ende Regency, Indonesia
The Keli Mutubuurai volcano stands at 1,639 meters above sea level on Flores Island, featuring three crater lakes of different colors at its summit.
The first documented volcanic eruption of Keli Mutubuurai occurred in 1865 and persisted for five years, followed by subsequent events in 1938 and 1968.
The Lio people of Flores Island regard the three lakes as sacred resting places for departed souls, categorizing them based on the nature of their earthly lives.
Visitors access the volcano through the town of Moni, which provides accommodation and serves as a starting point for early morning hikes to observe sunrise.
Each crater lake at Keli Mutubuurai contains water of varying colors - blue, green, and red - due to mineral interactions and geological processes beneath the surface.
