The blue 'lava' observed at Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia is not molten rock but rather burning sulfur gas that escapes through volcanic cracks and produces an electric blue flame when ignited at high temperatures.

Some Volcanoes Produce Blue LavaAdded:
What if lava burned blue instead of red?
At the Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia, people can see bright blue flames at night. It looks like blue lava, but it is actually burning sulfur gas.
The gas escapes through cracks in the volcano and can burn at very high temperatures. When it catches fire, it creates an electric blue color that looks unreal in the dark.
Some places on Earth look more like another planet.
Search blue lava volcano and watch how strange it looks at night.
Correct me if I said something wrong. No finish line, just the grind.
