This area is so remote, and the terrain so rocky that I wouldn't advise that anyone with a similar vehicular situation to ours attempt to travel there. Sadly, we were unable to approach the base of the volcano because of our car's limitations (nothing against the Skoda Octavia, finest motor carriage the Czech Republic has to offer). But you can see in the photos just how bizzarre and martian the area is. If you must abandon your car and continue by foot, as we did, pick a good landmark to remember your parking spot. Though it didn't feel like we'd walked far, Baby Sko (as we lovingly refer to our wheels) somehow vanished in the black desert, and we wandered aimlessly for a bit, chasing mirages, until she at last revealed herself behind some ominous lava rocks. We promptly got the hell out of there.
Rose I have to say you look especially bangin amidst a desolate landscape. When the world goes all Mad Max you will run Bartertown.
