Why does this Indonesian volcano expel blue lava?
Kawah Ijen is one of the most incredible volcanoes in the world. Especially because of the color of the lava that it expels when it erupts. At first glance it's like a bright electric blue, as if it were from another planet. Why is the lava of this volcano blue?
We will begin by clarifying that the color of the lava is not blue, a color quite unusual for a volcano. The blue glow is due to the combustion of sulfuric gases that come into contact with air at temperatures above 360 ° C.
