The closest one could ever get to near a live volcano

Today's highlight was Mt Aso. Mt Aso has one of the largest calderas in the world and is an active volcano. We were lucky that we could look into the caldera as the wind was blowing in the right direction and there was no explosions that day. We were told Mt Aso constantly has mini explosions at times.

Ok, after a while, it is just looking at black hills...one after another
