The opening time of the volcano is 2:30 in the morning. This hiking trip requires a normal speed of 1 and a half to 2 hours. It is nearly 4:30 when it reaches the volcanic lake, and the peak period of the blue fire is in this period. After 5:00, the day will become brighter, and the blue light is difficult to see. This means you have to maintain a relatively uniform speed to climb the mountain, otherwise you miss the best time. Mount Ijin Mountaineering license: 150k IDR/person.

The bubbles of sulfur gas keep coming out of the lake. It is said that the pH of the lake is very low. Don't touch it at will.
