    These sulfur craters are the result of volcanic activity, which emits sulfur gases from the Earth. These gases can build up and crystallize, creating towers of pure sulfur. These towers can have a distinctive yellow color and emit a strong odor. The whole thing is impressive.

        It smokes and whistles. Nice play of colors.
