Ijen
crater is the biggest crater lake in java. The sulfur crater lake lies in
sulfatara of deeply etched rock. It is 200 meters deep and contains about 36
million cubic meters of steaming acid water, shoureded in a smelling swirling
sulfur cloud. Inside the crater the different color and size of sulphur stones
are found. Indeed, the crater of Ijen is a beautiful garden of sulphur stone as
well.
The
view of sulfur miners who climb and go down to the crater is also amazing. A
man puts about I 10 kg of yellowish stone in to the basket, before he descends
the mountain slope to sell his load, carrying the same basket, going in the
same direction, digging the same mineral. The sulfur collected 6-7 ton a day.
It is natural picture that can be seen everyday. It is located in Licin Sub
