Ever since I was young, I have always been fascinated by volcanoes and the fact that they are both beautiful and deadly. This was the main reason why my wife and I climbed Mount Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia recently.

At a height of 3,726m, Mount Rinjani is the second highest – and active – volcano in the Indonesian archipelago. It has some stunning views, too.
