Indonesia’s Volcano Spewing Blue Lava

Volcanoes have inspired and frightened humans for centuries. They have been a center of folklore and myths for thousands of years. One volcano has surpassed all the other volcanoes in reputation thanks to its incredibly beautiful lava. the Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia’s Java island is seen as spewing bright blue lava at night. This colour is seen due to the burning of Sulphur from the volcano that burns with a bright blue flame. Kawah Ijen volcano is part of the complex volcanoes in Banywang Regency in Java.
