  Site Description  
  A number of crater lakes, each with a specific water colour. They are relatively small (40ha) and lie at an altitude of about 1,600 metre within a disturbed and mostly secondary forest which, however, still provides a very scenic background to the lakes. Two of the lakes, Ata Polo and Ata Mutri, are only separated by narrow mountain wall. The water of ata Polo has a greenish colour whereas Ata Muri is turquoise. Ata Mbupu, lies a little north and almost black. The colour of the lakes is probably due to the chemical composition of minerals and gasses. The lakes are very spectacular. The forests also have a function as hydrological protection forest. The maximum depth of the lake is 60 m. The secondary forest mainly a fire-climax Casuarina forest.
