And then I learned what was really happening inside this volcano…

Kawah Ijen isn't just a beautiful mountain with a crazy blue lake. It's still an active volcano, and people have been coming down into the crater to collect sulfur for decades.

The part that fascinated me the most was learning about the famous Blue Fire a strange blue glow created when sulfuric gases escape from the volcano and burn. You can only see it in the darkness, so people actually hike up in the middle of the night to experience it. 🔥

Honestly, I don't think I fully understood how wild this place was until I was standing there myself.

Would you wake up at 2 AM and hike into a volcano just to see something like that? 👀
