The Volcano That Burns Blue
The Kawah Ijen volcano in Java, Indonesia is a spectacular (and dangerous) sight to behold. Unlike any other volcano in the world, Kawah Ijen emits what appear to be bright blue flames. The glow is caused not by lava, but instead by sulfuric gases that create electric blue sparks when in contact with oxygen. Once the gases cool, bright yellow sulfur is formed, which is then mined and sold.

Thank you Great Big Story for creating such wonderful video about 'Kawah ijen' - East Java - Indonesia
great job correcting the error on the previous version
Didn't I see this like a week ago
Felt much more intense on Blue Planet (the documentary where they got the mining footage from). The music choice really took away how truly dangerous and awe-inspiring it is
This channel brings me so much joy.

Nice video. But there isn't any L in Ijen, only I, J, E, N. Also its good that we're not hearing hydraulic acid anymore, good job.

We have found Vibranium.
And I guess those workers are not getting paid well despite risking their health to gather the sulfur. No insurance or health care too. Am I right?

Jesus you guys need to get this shit straight! That’s like 4 videos in a row. It’s located ON the island of Java NOT IN Java. It’s one of 2 places the blue flames happen. They don’t carry it down the volcano.They carry it up, break in into smaller pieces, pack it in bags and load about 500 pounds on these crazy ass home made carts with bicycle wheels and brakes and travel to the “weigh station” down below. Why don’t I just report for you, I’ve actually been there. *edited to remove a plethora of profanity.
