Recently, a 31-year-old female tourist was traveling to Ijin Volcano on Java Island, Indonesia, when she took photos at an Internet celebrity tree in the crater, but she tripped over her long skirt and fell 75 meters to her death. The tour guide who has led a group in the attraction for 7 years said that under the canyon is a high-purity sulfuric acid lake, which cannot be touched and is very dangerous, and it is generally not recommended to go to the cliff to check in.
According to comprehensive media reports, an insider revealed that the 31-year-old female tourist traveled to Indonesia with her husband. At 2:10 a.m. on the day of the incident, they were guided to Mount Ijen to watch the sunrise and see the famous travel wonder Blue Flames.
Before falling off the cliff, the female tourist wanted to take a photo near an Internet celebrity tree, and in the process of checking in, she accidentally tripped over the long skirt she was wearing, rolled backwards and fell into a cliff about 75 meters deep. Local police said the incident was an accident. The deceased female tourist had multiple injuries on her body and a fractured left leg.
On April 22, the tour guide who has led a group for many years in Yizhen Volcano said that the attraction is actually not an ordinary travel check-in place, and the safety requirements for the tour are extremely high, and the canyon is a high-purity sulfuric acid lake, which can not be touched or touched, and after 2017, we have sent a lot of groups to the past, and will remind guests to pay attention to safety.
According to public information, Izhen Volcano is located in the eastern part of Java Island, Indonesia, and boasts that it is the only place in the world where you can see blue flames, and near it, there is a crater lake about 1 km wide, which is known for its rich sulfur and is recognized as the most acidic volcanic lake in the world.
Due to its geological wonders and peculiar geographical location, this attraction attracts tourists from all over the world all year round. At the same time, a tree growing on the edge of the cliff of Mount Ijin has accidentally become a source of safety hazards. Many netizens shared photos of taking photos with the tree on social platforms, causing the Yizhen Volcano Tree to become popular on the Internet.
In these check-in photos shared by netizens, there are different postures, some stand in front of the tree in a regular manner, and some people sit on the tree regardless of the hanging cliff below. An internet celebrity with more than 70,000 followers shared a photo of himself in October 2023, hanging upside down on a tree branch, letting his hair flutter in the wind. So far, this graphic post has been liked by 136,000 accounts. Some netizens in the message area replied that the finished film effect is very good, and they want to learn to imitate it.
The tour guide who led the group involved in the crash recalled that at that time, the female tourist insisted on taking pictures here because she saw beautiful photos taken by her friend in the same place before. At first, she actually chose to take photos in a safe position about 2 to 3 meters away from the crater rim, but later in order to get a better angle to get a shot, she was closer to the trees behind her, and in the process of retreating, she accidentally tripped over the long skirt she was wearing, causing her body to lose her balance and fall into the cliff.
According to media reports, there have been foreign tourists who tried to check in and take pictures in similar places before, and almost fell from a height.
