The lake in the crater of the Kawah Ijen Volcano is NOT a place you'd want to ever go swimming in. It's ph is 0.5. Pretty close to that of a car battery. No wonder, it's sulfuric acid.
| It's the site of a labor intensive sulfur mining operation where miners collect and carry huge loads of pure sulfur up from the crater floor along a steep, rocky path amid clouds of sulfur dioxide gas, all for the equivalent of about ten dollars a day. |
Man, just read on.

Sorry, I don't mean to derail your OP but did you see the google ad at the bottom of the page? When I first looked, it was a banner ad that linked to this. A cure for acid reflux!!! Nice tie in, eh? It was gone the last time I looked... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?
