Indonesian Volcano

During the day, the Kawah Ijen volcano in East Java, Indonesia, resembles any other. However, what appears to be electric-blue lava streams down the mountain at night. The unique blue glow is actually a result of the sulfuric gases in the volcano combusting, similar to a natural gas flame...

The interior of the volcano is still seen as dangerous. Noxious sulfur fumes linger through the volcano and you have to be very careful or you could potentially get lost in the volcano. The volcano has caused major landscape changes unlike other volcanos.
