TOPSHOT-INDONESIA-ENVIRONMENT-VOLCANO
TOPSHOT - This picture taken on June 15, 2016 shows brilliant blue flames lighting up the night sky above Kawah Ijen, casting an eerie electric glow as they flow down the sides of the active volcano in remote Indonesia Banyuwangi regency in East Java.
Hot sulphuric gases -- escaping at high pressure through cracks in this legendary mountain -- ignite upon contact with air, burning a fantastic, iridescent blue. By day, traditional miners brave the highly toxic gases to extract huge chunks of sulphur from the shores of a large turquoise lake within the crater.
