all of incredible sights in Nusa Tenggara the colored lakes of kelimutu are undoubtedly the most spectacular. The three lakes are set in deepcraters at an altitude of 1.690m asl and are near the summit of the kelimutu volcano ( Keli means mountain and Mutu is crater / steam).
They have a habit of changing color and most recently the largest was light turquoise , the one next to it was dark brown and the third one was black.
No- one was managed to fully explain the cause of the color or why they change , except to suppose that different minerals are dissolved in each lake. The moons cape eddect of the craters gives the whole summit area an ethereal atmosphere that can be quite creepy when clouds blow ion after 8am.
There is a story among the locals that the souls of the dead go to theses lakes : young people's souls go to the warmth of Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Turquose lake), Olds people to the cold of Tiwu ata Mbupu (Brown Lake) , and those of thieves and murders to Tiwu Ata Polo (Black Lake).
