Closer Look to Kawah Putih

Now we are getting closer to the view of Kawah Putih or White Crater. This is a crater which is full with sulphuric substance. The smell of sulphur will become very strong when we come down getting closer to the surface of the crater. However, this sulphur materials give a unique view where all of the view will be dominated with white color. There are also some trees where some of it are dead trees. This might be because the contamination of sulphur gas or other cause that make the trees around it dead. But some trees are still surviving and enrich the crater environment with its beauty. No need to hesitate that although usually a crater might be become dangerous to visit, especially when we are getting very close to it for Kawah Putih it doesn't like that. We are safe to walk around it although there are still some warning signs that warn us not to get closer to the crater mud and in front of the cave where the sulphur mine had been conducted in the past.
