The area of the crater itself reached 10 hectares, and many small holes that emit magma and unique sound, or like a flute. At an altitude of about 2288 meters there is a wide grass field approximately 9 acres more are in use by local residents to grow crops such as potatoes and carrots, this place called cottage Saladah, the source water from the river cisaladah.
