Kerinci Seblat National Park is named for Gunung Kerinci, the enormous volcano that dominates the valley that the park surrounds. The valley is a tremendously productive rice farming area due to the accumulated volcanic soil, and beautiful area. Someday the volcano will annihilate it all. But, of course, in doing so, it will recharge the soil for generations more Indonesian farmers.

Here Gunung Kerinci is photographed through the gulley where a waterfall cascades out of Danau Gunung Tujuh. You can just make out the farmland at the base of the volcano, at lower left. Steam streams from the caldera at the summit.
