One Day on Ijen Blue Fire and Taman Sari Village

Once I had a very impressive opportunity, we traveled from Bali to the tourist area of ​​Mount Ijen, which is in East Java, to be precise, in Banyuwangi. According to the sources I got, the Ijen area is known to the world because of the services of a married couple, volcanologists and geologists who are French nationals, namely Katia and Maurice Krafft who have conducted research at Ijen Crater in 1971. Ijen Crater is the only place that has an API BLUE. 300,000 years ago Mount Ijen Purba was formed, and 70,000 years ago it is estimated that it erupted very violently, giving rise to a caldera with a diameter of 15 kilometers. The eruption gave rise to several volcanoes, such as Mount Merapi, Suket, Jampit, Ringgih, Ijen and others. Currently, only the Ijen Crater is still active, in which there is still a source of heat, like a stove that is still in Ijen Crater. The Ijen area is active, the emergence of a Blue Flame which is said to only exist 2 in the world, Blue flame appears due to gas pressure interacting with sulfur. The release of H2S on the surface with high temperature causes a blue flame. The temperature of SO2 when it comes out of the bowels of the earth is around 400 degrees Celsius which meets the air, because it is so hot that this blue flame will be created which can be seen when it is still dark. If you want to see the blue fire, it is advisable to arrive when it is dark or it is still dawn. However, it is not recommended to go down into the crater without using a mask according to international standards and without a guide who is an expert and knows all the conditions of the Ijen Crater for sure. In addition, watching the sunrise in the Ijen Crater Area is the most beautiful thing in the world. And if you want to visit this area, you can start from Bali or to make an adventure more interesting, you can stay at several lodging facilities that already exist around this area. In general, we can arrange everything and we make sure to get the best service from us. You can also go around with safari Troopers who are always great fun going around seeing the extraordinarily beautiful scenery in other parts of Indonesia
