Enchanted Lake (Tiwu Ata Polo crater lake), Kelimutu National Park, East Nusa Tenggara Island, Indonesia


Tiwu Ata Polo (Enchanted Lake) is a crater lake in Kelimutu National Park, East Nusa Tenggara Island (also called Flores Island), Indonesia. This is one of three lakes in the park that are known for their intense colours that change with the time of day and the season. Although they might look inviting, don't think of swimming in the lakes as they are highly acid, boiling hot and lethal. Indonesia lies at the convergence of three tectonic plates, so evidence of various levels of volcanic activity can be seen throughout the islands.
