Crater lake

Preparing small raft made of inflatable matraces before swimming over the lake with original intention of approaching the small acive volcano inside the main Rinjani crater

After swimming for half an hour over crater lake, we encountered big very sharp volcanic boulders there. They did not look so big and sharp from the other side, going over would be very very long and demanding.

Well, maybe next time one could bring small inflatable boat and paddle to more distand and easier part of crater lake in order to approach the small volcano.

Back from this refreshing and a bit cold swimming
