L'Ijen est un volcan d'Indonésie situé sur l'île de Java et se présentant sous la forme d'une caldeira, la caldeira de Kendeng, bordée au sud par plusieurs cônes et cratères volcaniques dont le Kawah Ijen qui renferme un lac acide

Mount Ijen, Indonesia
This is the infamous Ijen Blue Flame at first light.
For a first timer like me, the 2 hour, 3 kilometre hike was a darn tiring one. With a gain of approximately 400m in altitude to the rim of the crater, my friends and I pushed on like mountain goats.
When we finally descended upon the bank of the crater, it was already first light. Not the ideal condition to capture the blue flame but the overall experience was truly an amazing one.
Consolation came from witnessing the Milky Way during the sweaty ascend.

The Ijen volcano complex at the eastern end of Java consists of a group of small stratovolcanoes constructed within the large 20-km-wide Ijen (Kendeng) caldera. The north caldera wall forms a prominent arcuate ridge, but elsewhere the caldera rim is buried by post-caldera volcanoes, including Gunung Merapi stratovolcano, which forms the 2799 m high point of the Ijen complex.
Le Kawah Ijen se situe en Indonésie, à l'extrême est de l'île de Java, dans la province de Java-Orientale et dans le sud-est de la caldeira de Kendeng du volcan Ijen, adossé au flanc ouest du Merapi, le point culminant de ce massif volcanique à ne pas confondre avec l'autre volcan Merapi de l'île de Java.
Il est entouré par le Merapi à l'est, la caldeira de Kendeng au nord-ouest, le Papak immédiatement à l'ouest et le Rante au sud-ouest.

The Ijen Blue Flame is widely documented on the internet. But not many has been said about the journey to this particular wonder.
A approximate 2 hours hike up and down steep rocks (meant to be the routes). By the time I reached there, it was about 30 minutes more to daybreak, which limited the freedom to locate a good composition for the flames.
Gloves are a must for anyone visiting this area as you will be grabbing on to almost anything for stability, but mostly on rocks.

French Journal Day 6 (Travel Diary Day 86)
(travel blog -
strange-lands.com/daily/2012/10/09/ijen-at-sunrise/)
I’m currently deciding whether or not country life is for me. It’s only been 3 days but I’m enjoying the slow-paced atmosphere living in the sticks offers. I haven’t spoken to anyone other than Rachel for the past 48 hours. It’s not helping my French much but it’s slowly allowing me the time I need to get some work done.
The main problem with living so far from civilisation is that we are easy targets for serial killers. They could slice us up no problem. We’d never be found, not with all this lush forest to hide our corpses in. I’ll bet you one’s out there hatching a plan as I type. ‘Hatching’ doesn’t seem the right word.
Horror movies often take place in secluded areas. Usually there’s a token black guy who dies first. We don’t have him. We’ll be first…and I’m from Africa. Usually the best looking guy and girl will also die. The lesser looking but more dynamic couple usually live. Where do we stand?
I’ve been told I look like Tom Cruise after a car accident. I think this is a good thing. I’m also dynamic. A few months ago I told a joke and it was really funny. People definitely laughed. Rachel doesn’t look great. Maybe he’ll take pity on her and let her go. He has to get someone though, and I’m clearly the trophy kill.
I’ll probably just tell him to take me instead of her, because I’m pretty brave. Or, we can give him the dogs and maybe one of Rachel’s arms.
I think I prefer city life to be honest. Lots of noise, pollution, lights, and token black guys for the killers/police to kill first. Why do hollywood always kill the minorities first?
I started this journal entry with the best of intentions. I’m not sure what happened to it.
Today’s Photo – Above Ijen Crater
There weren’t any killers at Ijen Crater on Java. Although there were a lot of French people. This was taken at about 6:00am shortly after sunrise. I’m afraid the photo doesn’t quite show how large the crater really is.

We were further over to the right from here for sunrise, but the smoke was too much and blocked the nice view. This one was taken while on the way back down as the smoke lifted a bit and the sunrise came over the peaks...
The Ijen National Park situated in East Java near the city of Banyuwangi, is the easternmost volcanic centre in the island of Java, Indonesia.
Le lac de cratère du Kawah Ijen, en indonésien Danau Kawah Ijen, en javanais Tlaga Kawah Ijen, occupe le fond du cratère en entonnoir de ce volcan et son niveau se situe à 2 200 mètres d'altitude. Il est long d'un kilomètre, large de 600 mètres pour une superficie de 0,41 km2 et profond au maximum de 200 mètres, ce qui lui confère un volume de 36 000 000 m3. Même si la profondeur maximale semble avoir légèrement varié au fil des ans, les éruptions récentes n'ont pas modifié en profondeur la topographie sous-lacustre.
Ce lac est considéré comme étant le plus acide du monde avec un pH se situant autour de 0,23. Il se déverse naturellement par une brèche dans le cratère au rythme de cinquante litres par seconde et forme une rivière acide, la rivière Banyupahit qui devient la rivière Banyuputih, traversant la caldeira de Kendeng avant de se jeter dans la mer de Java au nord au bout d'une quarantaine de kilomètres. Alimenté par les précipitations qui sont au maximum de l'ordre de 250 millimètres par an, le niveau de l'eau du lac est variable, de même que sa superficie et son volume mais aussi son acidité et sa température. En effet, au cours de la saison sèche qui s'étend de mai à octobre, le niveau de l'eau peut baisser de quatre mètres, la température de surface des eaux du lac devenir plus élevée que la température de l'air et l'acidité du lac augmenter par rapport à la saison humide.
L'acidité extrême des eaux du lac est provoquée par la dissolution des gaz volcaniques émis en continu sous l'eau. Au contact de l'eau, ces gaz entraînent la dissolution d'acide sulfurique, de chlore et de fluor qui peuvent s'agglomérer en sphérules de sulfures de cinq millimètres de diamètre qui flottent alors à la surface du lac.

Ijen vulkaan, Java, Indonesia
For decades, workers have mined the sulphur that collects around vents in the still-active Ijen volcano. The men here work in dangerous conditions, breathing deadly fumes and scaling the crumbling walls of the crater with loads of up to 100kg per man, strapped across their backs in baskets. After emerging from the depths, they must then carry their loads down the mountain to be weighed and sold (the sulphur sells for approximately IDR 1,000 per kilogram - less than ten cents).
With shoulder muscles warped and deformed from all the heavy lifting, and with lungs shredded by the toxic clouds of gas, they toil back and forth through the night, each man making the trip up and down the mountain as many as three times every day, for a maximum yield of 300kg. On a good day at market they can sell this yield for a total of around Rp 300,000 ($21USD).
In this remote and inhospitable place, accidents are common. Most of the men can point to places in the crater where someone has fallen to their death. All have a telltale rasping cough that points to respiratory illness. With so many dangers and such dire consequences for their health, many of the miners are downing tools and becoming guides for the increasing number of tourists who climb the mountain.
