KAWAH
IJEN IN JAVA EAST
The
Ijen volcano complex at the eastern end of Java consists of a group
of small stratovolcanoes constructed within the large 20-km-wide Ijen
(Kendeng) caldera. The north caldera wall forms a prominent arcuate
ridge, but elsewhere the caldera rim is buried by post-caldera volcanoes,
including Gunung Merapi stratovolcano, which forms the 2799 m high point
of the Ijen complex. Immediately west of Gunung Merapi is the renowned
historically active Kawah Ijen volcano, which contains a nearly 1-km-wide,
turquoise-colored, acid crater lake. Picturesque Kawah Ijen is the world's
largest highly acidic lake and is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur
mining operation in which sulfur-laden baskets are hand-carried from
the crater floor. Interestingly, Sulphur is mined at the lake’s
edge and the strong odour of this is not for those with a tender stomach.
The people who work in these sulphur mines are wellversed in their job.
They carry the sulphur up to the top of the crater and afterwards walk
the 19 km down the mountain to Banyuwangi where at a factory the sulphur
is treated. These guys can carry as much as 80 kilos of the foul smelling
material!.
Many
other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera
or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms
an E-W-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. Coffee
plantations cover much of the Ijen caldera floor, and tourists are drawn
to its waterfalls, hot springs, and dramatic volcanic scenery.
