IJEN CRATER

The Ijen Crater Tourism Area is included in the Ijen Tourism Park Nature Reserve with an area of ​​2,560 hectares, including a tourism forest of 92 hectares. Ijen Crater is located at the top of Mount Ijen in the Licin District, Banyuwangi Regency and Klobang District, Bondowoso Regency. Mount Ijen is an active volcano which has an altitude of 2,443 masl above sea level which is located side by side with Mount Raung and Mount Merapi. Ijen Crater is a lake above Mount Ijen which was formed as a result of the eruption of Mount Ijen, making the crater filled with water to form a very amazing crater lake. What is interesting is that this crater is in the middle of the widest caldera on the island of Java with a diameter of 6 km. . The size of the crater itself is about 960 meters x 600 meters with a depth of 200 meters. The crater is located at a depth of more than 300 meters below the caldera wall. In addition, another natural phenomenon found in the Ijen crater that should not be missed is the Blue Fire, which appears in the midst of sulfur mining, and can only be seen in the early morning until early in the morning around 05.00 WIB. There are only two blue fire phenomena in the world, apart from Ijen, only in Iceland. So it's no wonder the existence of the blue fire is so highly sought after by tourists, especially foreign tourists. The Blue Fire phenomenon is what raised the name of Ijen Crater to be so famous, even abroad. Blue Fire or this blue fire appears from the sulfur when it is dark. You can't see this Blue Fire phenomenon other than in Ijen Crater and in Iceland. #naturalwonders#themepark#lakes
