Mt. Kelimutu, 1.690m fifty years ago, had three lakes, one lake was blue
green, one fiery green and one red. Thirty years later, the colors had
changed to blue, red brown and cafe au lait. Now, Ata Bupu (Lake) is a
dramatic dark-brown. Ata Polo are dark red-brown, and only Nuwa Muri
remains aquamarine or t.urquoise as it apparently
always was.
No one can
explain the cause of such color changes except to suppose that different
minerals are dissolved in the waters of each lake at Lake Kelimutu.
