July 18, 2023,Asosan - der Schwefelgeruch geht nicht aus der Nase

Why the...... are some pictures not rotated 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Due to the strong degassing, the view at the crater was closed.🫣 So we have to go up again😁😉 to look at hell. Asosan's caldera is the largest in Japan, and among the top 5 in the world.
