Favorite thing: The visitorcentre in the middle of the Caldera-crater at the foot of the bundle of new volcanoes that rise slowly but steadily up in the enormous gab that their grandfather left. These volcanoes are very active and most of the time the climb to the crater-rim is prohibited (safe, but also sad for visitors that want to see real lava or firy fountains). However in the cratermouth are several camera's and the images of what they see can be followed in the visitor-centre.
Fondest memory: The views from the slopes of the new volcanoes towards the walls around that form the caldera-crater of the once unimaginable big volcano that exploded.
