Kaipuhan Sulfur Vents in Valencia, Negros Oriental

Hello everyone!

I still have to make a proper post about Kaipuhan Sulfur Vents, but I want to start sharing a short video of the place. It's also my way of gauging the reception to my videos. I want to make more videos about my travels soon as I feel travel vlogging is still untapped here in Hive.

Kaipuhan Sulfur Vents is a nature preserve located near Mt. Talinis. It's the place where beauty and destruction are juxtaposed. Imagine standing at the place where the evidence of volcanic activity of a mountain is evident. The air is very warm and humid, and the whole place is covered by the stench of rotting eggs. Fumaroles of different sizes scatter around and yet the whole place is very beautiful.

I have so many philosophical musings about this place, but I'll just reserve them for the proper post. In the mean time, let me just emphasize the sheer forces of nature and the inevitability of death when subjected to those forces. And yet, life thrives even in the harshest conditions. That makes the place very dynamic and the beauty lies even in the algae that thrives in the acidic stream water that started in the fumaroles.

I guess that's all for this post. Enjoy the video!
