Gunung Kelimutu on Flores, Indonesia. The twin lakes of Tiwu Ko`o Fai Nuwa Muri meaning the Lake of Young Men and Maidens, and Tiwu Ata Polo meaning Bewitched, or Enchanted Lake of gunung Kelimutu. The intense colors of the lakes that fill the calderas of gunung Kelimutu periodically change due to adjustments in the oxidation-reduction status of the fluid of each lake. This is dependent on the relative abundances of major elements, such as iron and manganese.
