Mount kelud has change, it had green crater before explode, but today the beautiful crater is gone and turn up new crater that different from the previous.

As a result of the eruption activity that’s happening right now Kelud shaped crater lake wide crater at its peak. Crater Lake is a bluish color is presented by the natural beauty of Mount Kelud. Crater lake surrounded by towering cliffs, among others Crags Gajah (Elephant) Mungkur with a height of 150 meters, Mountain and Mount Lirang Beetle.
The climax activity of Mount kelud is to turn up a dome from the lake crater in November 5, 2007 with diameter 100 meters and 20 meters height from crater water. Today, the Lava Dome still growing slowly till 200 meters height and widened to southwest side of the lake crater wide. Mount kelud changes with its new Dome are very interesting for visitors. The visitors can see and enjoy its new dome if the condition is really safe to be visited. The Dome is seems to be Mount kelud’s son. There is no crater-lake or green water in Mount kelud, but the new kelud presents its new dome. Fantastic and curious nature panorama.
