According to local media reports on the 20th, the Chinese female tourist was traveling to Indonesia with her husband. At 2:10 a.m. on the day of the accident, our guide led us to the crater of Ijen Volcano to watch the sunrise, and we also planned to admire the “blue flames” of Ijen Volcano against the night view. The female tourist was trying to take a photo near a tree at a popular photo spot for tourists, but when she stepped back, her long skirt got tangled and she fell 75 meters.

According to an official from Indonesia’s Java Natural Resources Conservation Agency, rescue teams spent two hours recovering the body of the tourist after he fell. The official also explained that the incident was a sudden accident and urged tourists to be careful when climbing Ijen Volcano. Police further explained that although language barriers have made it difficult for hospitals, police and the family to communicate, the woman’s body will be taken to Bali and then flown back to China.

The Ijen volcano contains a lot of sulfur, and the mysterious and fantastic blue flames of sulfur that can be seen at night attract tourists from all over the world. When climbing Ijen Volcano, you must wear a protective mask to filter out volcanic ash and toxic gases, and a headlamp to illuminate your steps. The tree next to the crater where this fall occurred is a famous photo spot for visitors to Ijen Volcano, and many commemorative photos have been posted on social media with this tree.
