What is the blue fire?
The blue fire is a result of the combustion of sulfuric gas that seeps out of the cracks in the crater floor. When this gas comes into contact with oxygen, it ignites, creating a mesmerizing blue flame. The flames can reach up to 5 meters high, and they dance and flicker in the night sky, creating an otherworldly spectacle.
Hiking to see the blue fire
The only way to see the blue fire is to hike to the top of Mount Ijen. The hike is challenging but rewarding, and the views from the summit are simply breathtaking.
The hike typically begins around midnight, so that hikers can reach the crater rim in time to see the blue fire at its most intense. The hike is approximately 3 kilometers long and takes about 2 hours to complete. The trail is well-maintained, but it is steep and can be slippery in places.

Here are some essential items to bring on your hike to Mount Ijen:
