Multicolored Lakes

Long considered a sacred spot and final resting place for departed souls, the multicolored lakes of the Kelimutu volcano are among the most incredible wonders of the world. Though the three lakes are all on the crest of the same volcano, and two even share a crater wall, they are all different colors.  

The two adjacent lakes,  the “Enchanted Lake”  and  the “Lake of Young Men and Maidens,” are often red or green respectively. And the “Lake of Old People” is typically blue.  But their color can vary unpredictably between blue, green, black and red.
