80 meters inside of a volcano of Lemptegy. It was exploited for a pouzzolane but in agreement with the volcanologists that they would conserve certain parts of it. As a result, you can really take a walk inside of it and see how the world evolved. What you can see there on the photo is a volcanic chimney, through which the fresh lava got onto the surface.
