About Ijen Crater – East Java Volcano
Ijen Crater (2,386 meters above sea level) is one of Indonesia’s most extraordinary volcanic landscapes.
It is internationally known for:
- The largest highly acidic crater lake in the world
- The rare natural Blue Fire phenomenon

The Blue Fire occurs when sulfuric gases ignite as they escape from volcanic vents at high temperatures. The electric-blue flames are only visible in complete darkness between 02:00 – 04:30 AM.
