    Hiking

    The sulfuric gasses escaping from the ground create yellow sulfur crystals, break down the magmatic rocks to clay tinged red with iron, and fill the air with a smell reminiscent of rotten eggs. Indeed, decaying eggs produce the same hydrogen sulfide gas that seeps through the ground near the volcano.
