The Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia doesn’t spew the typical red flame we have come to expect from volcanic eruptions. Instead, the flames from this amazing natural wonder, are blue.

The bright blue from the volcano’s flames is the result of burning sulfur which lights up the night sky. Blue flames occur randomly at the peak of the volcano as sulfuric gas condenses into liquid and then pours out of the mountain top.

The Gas Is Known To Create Flames Up To Fifteen Feet High
