The caldera of Kawah Ijen harbors a  kilometer-wide, turquoise colored, acidic crater lake that leaks  sulphurous gases constantly. At night the hot gases burn to emit an  eerie blue glow that is unique to Kawah Ijen. The gases emerge from the  cracks in the volcano at high pressure and temperature, up to 600°C, and  when they come in contact with the air, they ignite, sending flames up  to 16 feet high. Some of the gases condense into liquid sulfur, and  continues to burn as it flows down the slopes giving the feeling of blue  lava flowing. Kawah Ijen’s sulphuric gases are also mined for sulphur. The volcanic  gases are trapped by the local miners and channeled through a network  of ceramic pipes, resulting in condensation of molten sulfur. The  sulfur, which is deep red in color when molten, pours slowly from the  ends of these pipes and pools on the ground, turning bright yellow as it  cools. The miners break the cooled material into large pieces and carry  it away in baskets to a nearby refinery. A worker can earn up to $13  dollars a day in this way.    The workers work in extremely  hazardous condition with insufficient protection. Most of them suffers  from numerous respiratory problems due to breathing toxic fumes day in  and out. At times they work at night under to escape the heat of the  sun, and to earn extra income.These pictures were captured by  photographer Olivier Grunewald, who lost two lenses and a camera to  sulphuric corrosion while trying to capture the mysterious pictures. <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-WVWjsq7LLDE/U0vUjuqQdhI/AAAAAAAAxeo/ZZQRfr1HbZg/kawah-ijen-13%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-XqXVMy-POWA/U0vUnG9V9VI/AAAAAAAAxew/AzMlX6ZQP4w/kawah-ijen-6%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-RrQY0eUcesc/U0vUpyJ7NFI/AAAAAAAAxe4/d-rB3e7-lVs/kawah-ijen-7%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FiJVNpo8qsw/U0vUsFkeQuI/AAAAAAAAxfA/0noNQwO3Aew/kawah-ijen-8%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nex-Zck-Azc/U0vUuHDBU6I/AAAAAAAAxfI/65DpM4usZwM/kawah-ijen-9%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uqi38OCcCBY/U0vUwhzBzCI/AAAAAAAAxfQ/j1lXv6lIGP4/kawah-ijen-10%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6zBLomxkdbk/U0vUyntbF6I/AAAAAAAAxfY/dsOy2FUece0/kawah-ijen-5%25255B12%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3NTNXUKdA-g/U0vU0wC3NhI/AAAAAAAAxfg/QTcsk9jc_no/kawah-ijen-11%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-XRt66oIg164/U0vU34Q4A2I/AAAAAAAAxfo/PG6yTPRpr0k/kawah-ijen-12%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-im26xc9SLK4/U0vU6AgYGlI/AAAAAAAAxfw/8xlDKbE1rlI/kawah-ijen-1%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9rbKtV6EaCI/U0vU8THr6EI/AAAAAAAAxf4/DIkqmc_JxOM/kawah-ijen-3%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2woH70Ftcn8/U0vU-Vh0osI/AAAAAAAAxgA/y8UysoQD2qw/kawah-ijen-4%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
