Recently, a shocking news came from Indonesia that a 31-year-old Chinese female tourist tragically fell to her death while visiting the Izhen volcano. This tragedy is yet another reminder of the importance of safety while enjoying the beauty of nature. This article will delve into the beauty and dangers of Mount Ijen and how we can make it safe to travel.
Located in East Java Province, Indonesia, Ijin Volcano is known as one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world. The crater lake is a vivid blue color, like a sparkling jewel set in the earth. However, behind the beauty lies a danger. There is a lot of activity at Ijen Volcano, so visitors need to be vigilant when visiting.
First, let's take a look at the formation of Mount Ijen. Mount Ijen is a volcanic lake formed by multiple volcanic eruptions. The blue water in the volcanic lake is made up of deposits of minerals such as sulfuric acid, iron, and copper. These minerals take on a distinctive blue color when exposed to sunlight. However, these minerals also mean that the lake water is highly corrosive and visitors should keep their distance.
In order to ensure the safety of tourists, the Indonesian government has taken a series of measures. First, set up warning signs to remind visitors to stay safe. Secondly, patrols should be strengthened to prevent tourists from entering dangerous areas. In addition, the government regularly monitors volcanic activity and issues early warnings in a timely manner.
Still, visitors need to be vigilant when visiting Ijen Volcano. Here are some tips to help you stay safe while enjoying the view:
Know the volcano in advance: Before heading to Ijen Volcano, find out about the latest activity of the volcano, such as whether there is an eruption warning. You can get information through the official website of the Indonesian Meteorology, Geology and Volcanology Research Agency (BMKG).
