The blue flames of Ijen are a result of ignited sulfuric gases that emerge from the cracks in the crater. This phenomenon is best observed during the dark hours of the night, creating an ethereal and surreal display. The flames can reach temperatures of up to 1,112°F (600°C).
After the sun appears and it starts to get light, you will return to the top of the crater, then continue to see the panoramic view of the Ijen Crater from the top of the mountain.
