The Ijen volcano complex is a group of composite volcanoes located on the border between Banyuwangi Regency and Bondowoso Regency of East Java, Indonesia. It is known for its blue fire, acidic crater lake, and labour-intensive sulfur mining.
Due to the occurrence of the flames, Kawah Ijen has also been nicknamed "the Blue Volcano". [2] The crater of Kawah Ijen is the world's largest blue flame area. [ 1 ] Kawah Ijen has large amounts of sulfur deposits and fumaroles , and the high temperatures from the underground volcanic heat frequently combusts the sulfur on the surface of the ...
Tourist spots include Kawah Ijen, a crater lake. Kawah Ijen is managed jointly by two local governments, Bondowoso Regency and Banyuwangi Regency. A hike or climb to the crater takes around 1-2 hours. [5] In addition to the crater, other tourist destinations in Bondowoso are Tancak Kembar in Pakem and Air Terjun Belawan Sempol.
Ijen has a unique colourful caldera lake which is an extremely acidic natural reservoir (pH<0.3). [17] There are sulfur mining activities at Ijen, where miners collect highly concentrated sulfur rocks by hand.
It is located in the caldera of Mount Mazama. It is the deepest lake in the United States with a depth of 594 m (1,949 ft). ... Ijen: Indonesia, Java: Kawah Putih ...

Kawah Putih (Sundanese: ᮊᮝᮂ ᮕᮥᮒᮤᮂ) (English: White Crater) is a crater lake and tourist spot in a volcanic crater about 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. [1] Kawah Putih Lake (7.10° S 107.24° E) is one of the two craters that make up Mount Patuha, an andesitic stratovolcano (a "composite" volcano). [2]
The Ijen volcano complex is located on East Java, Indonesia. An active vent at the edge of a crater lake is a source of elemental sulfur , and supports a labor-intensive mining operation. Escaping volcanic gases are channeled through a network of ceramic pipes, resulting in condensation of molten sulfur.
