Blue fire

Blue lava from this volcano

  When the Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia erupted recently it sent out the blue lave and blue fire.  It was caused by a heavy concentration of sulfuric acid contained in the lava.
  A similar sight was seen in Ethiopia when the Dallol volcano erupted.  I'm pretty sure you can click and enlarge the photos.
