Lake Toba


Lake Toba is a large lake, 100 km long and 30 km wide, in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, Indonesia. When you see it you will probably be amazed of its natural beauty and lovely landscapes, but do not forget how it was formed in the past. The enormous inland lake has a history spoken of in local myths, but the true story of Toba and how this enormous inland lake evolved, lies in knowing the story of its Toba volcano.

In 1949 the Dutch geologist Rein van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a layer of ignimbrite rocks, and that it was a large volcanic caldera. Later researchers found rhyolite ash similar to that in the ignimbrite around Toba (now called Young Toba Tuff to distinguish it from layers deposited in previous explosions) in Malaysia and India, 3000 km away. Oceanographers discovered Toba ash, with its characteristic chemical “fingerprint”, on the floor of the eastern Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.

Tanah Lot


There are many beautiful places that attract people to go to Bali. One of a place that we can visit is “Tanah Lot”. Tanah lot is like a small island that located on the Bedugul, Bali. Inside Tanah Lot, there is a small cave where a lot of snakes live inside it. According to the myth, no one should not hurt or kill the snakes because the Balinese were believed that the snakes are scared. The Balinese also believe that the snakes are the reincarnation of an idol. If anyone would hurt or kill the snakes, they will get the curse from the snakes that they hurt or kill. From the myth that exists, many local and foreign tourists were interested and would like to see the snakes by themselves.
