Hiking
The climb is not too steep and is mainly lava sand and stones. At the crater rim there is more lava gravel. You can also walk around the crater on the crater rim, but in my opinion it doesn't give you much new insight, it's enough to walk a bit.
In the "winter" in June there are beautiful structures, but also icy winds
