See the BLUE glow of Indonesia’s volcano While they look like scenes from a sci-fi movie, these pictures are actually taken from a #volcano in East Java, #Indonesia, when it started giving off molten sulfur. The lava is usually orange-red in color, but the blue glow comes from flames produced when escaping sulfuric gases burn up inside the volcano in a heat of 600C, according to experts. In order to take the pictures, photographer Keow Wee Loong had to wear a gas mask to deal with the toxic fumes, as he ventured inside the volcanos grounds. The volcano, known as the Ljen Crater, is located in East Java and is used by miners who rely on the sulfur for their livelihoods. (Source: Daily Mail)
