It's active	It was very active in 2017 and only reopened 4 months ago	The crater was 1.3km across...	...and 300m deep but that was before last year's activity
Mud and ash	Sulphur deposits	Steaming cauldron	Sorry - lots of photos
P and J	One more photo	Ash, mud and rock	Rocks are spewed out
Causing damage - this path remains closed	There are emergency shelters in case of eruption	A no smoking sign at the crater rim - funny
