What Makes Mount Ijen a Unique Destination?
The Blue Fire Phenomenon
Mount Ijen is globally known for its electric-blue flames, created by ignited sulfuric gases emerging from cracks near the crater. This rare phenomenon can only be seen before sunrise, making night hiking an essential part of Ijen Tours.
The Turquoise Acid Crater Lake
At the summit lies a stunning turquoise crater lake, recognised as the largest highly acidic volcanic lake in the world. The contrast between the lake, the surrounding cliffs, and the volcanic steam creates an unforgettable landscape.
Traditional Sulfur Mining
Visitors may also witness traditional sulfur miners carrying heavy loads from the crater, offering insight into one of the most physically demanding jobs in the world.
