Details for: Ijen
Steam rises from fumaroles on the SE crater wall of the highly acidic Kawah Ijen crater lake, which lies within one of the post-caldera cones of the massive 20-km-wide Ijen caldera. The renowned 1-km-wide turquoise-colored crater lake, located on the flank of Gunung Merapi stratovolcano near the eastern rim of Ijen caldera, has been the site of phreatic eruptions in historical time and is noted for its deposits of elemental sulfur. The acidic sulfate-chloride type crater lake has very low pH values of about 0.2. Photo by Tom Casadevall, 1987 (U.S. Geological Survey).
