into the "super massive"

I haven't been near a volcano since I was a small boy That was some 50 years ago, and that happened to be in Hawaii!

During our coffee chat, I'd mentioned my need to see a volcano But somehow Anastasia had managed to disguise this volcano bit and so it came as a complete and delightful surprise followed by countless ohhs, ahhs and wows!

The rest stop halfway around the rim. I think I could just daydream here all day long!

That's Lokon belching out smoke and steam in the background. Just the day after our visit, the areas were offlimits to tourists due to abnormal seismic activity.

From our lofty vantage point we could see another larger volcano in the background just a few kilometers away, still belching steam and smoke! Mount Lokon is active with an eruption once every couple of years! "When's the next one, do you know? 'Cos I really want to watch it?"- As if!

North Sulawesi lies on the collision belt of the tectonic plates of the Pacific, Philippines and Australian plates You can say that it is in the Ring of Fire

This is an ancient land with a Stegodon (mammoth) fossil found on the island of Sangihe which lies just north of the city and is but one of North Sulawesi's 150 coastal gems

This is Epi. Am imposing figure of a warrior that had me thinking twice about approaching him.
