Where is the Izhen volcano?

Izhen volcano is located in the east of Java Island, Indonesia.

Mount Merapi is located in the east of Kaweizhen volcano, with an altitude of 2799 meters, the highest point. To the west of Mount Merapi is the famous active volcano Kaweizhen. Kaweizhen volcano has a crater lake about 1 km wide. This crater is famous for its rich sulfur. It is a famous tourist attraction with a depth of 200m and an area of 0.4 1 km2. It is recognized as the most acidic volcanic lake in the world, with a Ph of only 0.5.

Flaming magma is considered to be the blood of the earth, but just like animals have static arteries, there is also blue magma on the earth. MartinRietze, an amateur photographer from Germany, captured this rare scene in the volcano of Kavaj Town in eastern Indonesia. A large number of blue magma flows out of the ground, just like the fire of hell, Leng Yan and mysterious.

Sulfur-producing ore

The gas emitted by Kaweizhen volcano forms sulfur through the pores of the crater. Many local young and middle-aged men ventured to the crater to collect sulfur ore to make a living. There are more than 200 miners in Kavaj volcano. Miners work at risk without protection. They burn sulfur in the most primitive way, pick it by hand and carry it on their shoulders.

Every day, they carry 70-90 kilograms of sulfur ore from the crater, go up the mountain and down the valley, and breathe toxic gas. This kind of work is repeated more than 10 times a day, 12 hours, resulting in their average life span of only 30 years. Miners can get a meager income equivalent to 35 yuan to 40 yuan after working for a day, and it is extremely difficult to survive.
