Fantale Crater

TIME : 2016/2/16 17:54:48

Towards the west end of the park, 600m above the plains (it would have been twice as tall before it collapsed) lies Fantale Crater (2007m). With its terrific vistas, total quiet and cool air, this dormant volcano makes a great trek. At the top (a two- to three-hour walk; the 4WD track is no longer driveable) the 360-degree view is phenomenal and the elliptical caldera, which measures an enormous 3.5km in diameter, is quite an eerie sight in the morning when the steam vents can be seen.
