Incredible Neon Blue Lava Erupts from Indonesia’s Kawah Ijen Volcano

You have probably heard of ‘red hot’ but never ‘blue hot’ and thats exactly what this volcano is. Indonesia’s Kawah Ijen Volcano gives off a blue hue which gives it an other worldly look at night. The mountain contains a large amount of pure sulfur which gives off the incredible ‘neon blue’ colour as it burns.

Of course getting these pictures is a challenge in its self, with the slopes reaching a scorching 239 degrees fahrenheit. These amazing photographs were taken by Olivier Grunewald.
