Lava Dome of Mt. Esan !

by Kazu

We went up to the peak of the lava dome of Mt. Esan under the bright blue sky, watching around outside of the crater of the volcano. The smell of sulfur drifted in the air.     

The heat from the ground and the bright sunshine continued to raise the temperature of the ground but no sign of another eruption on that day, fortunately.  

Getting closer to the peak of the lava dome of Mt. Esan, we could not find any green plant nor creatures. Even seagulls could not be found around the peak and hillside.
