Mount Popa
Mount Popa itself is apparently an extinct volcano that last erupted over 300 years ago. Unsurprisingly, its dramatic appearance has led Mount Popa to be a revered holy site for centuries, and it's considered to be the home of the most powerful "nats", or spirits, that dominate Burmese mythology and religion.
