This documentary shows blue glowing lava escaping from Kawah Ijen volcano in East Java.
The blue glow is caused by the burning sulphur that is found at this site. Miners have run ceramic pipes from vents in the side of the mountain to collection points inside a large crater where the molten chemical is left to cool before being broken up and carried away.
