Blue Fire
Ijen volcano has some of the highest sulfur levels in the world. Since
the sulfur can spit out "blue lava", it is unusual for a volcano. This
blue Fire is not real from lava. The light (Blue Fire) is actually the
light from burning sulfur gas. These gasses emerge from cracks in the
volcano at high pressures and temperatures---up to 600 C. When they
come into contact with air, they ignite, sending flames 5m high. Some
of the gas condenses into molten sulfur, which continues to burn as it
flows down the slope that looks like a lava flow.
