Stinking Hole

davidkoiter has added a photo to the pool:

Stinking Hole

The large active crater of Mount Naka-dake, one of the peaks of Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan. If you like, imagine the heavy stench of sulfur that accompanied this view. This crater is the only one in the Aso caldera (one of the largest in the world) that has been active during the last 70 years. On the left side of the photo, little reinforced concrete structures can be seen, which were built to protect people following a sudden eruption in 1958 that killed 12 visitors to the crater.
