A 31-year-old Foreign girl, identified as Huang Lihong, lost her life after falling from the top of a volcano while posing for a photo on an Indonesian mountain. The lady and her husband were taking a guided tour of the Ijen volcano, which is known for its mesmerizing “blue fire” phenomenon, in order to see the sunrise.
Huang Lihong reportedly fell from a level of 75 feet and succumbed to the effects caused by the fall, according to reports from the New York Post. Officials have described the incident as an unlucky accident. The trip guide informed authorities that Huang Lihong turned back to get a better chance in the dreadful error, despite repeated warnings about the risks of getting too close to the crater’s advantage for photos.
It is unclear what the woman was wearing at the time of the affair, whether she was wearing a dress or a skirt. She was retrieved by firefighters after about 2 days, working in the crater. The Ijen mountain is renowned for its distinctive “blue fire” brought on by sulphuric gases combustion.
In a separate affair, Mount Ruang in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, expert explosions that forced evacuations as hot stones descended upon adjacent villages. Many times, the volcano erupted, causing ash clouds to erupt into the sky and creating a display of flaming lava and geological lightning.
Despite regular gas emissions, Mount Ijen is a popular tourist destination in Indonesia, with about 130 active volcanoes there. The subsequent events serve as a reminder of the uncertain nature of mountains and the necessity of observing safety regulations when visiting such places.
The tragic passing of Huang Lihong highlights the need for prudence and awareness when exploring geological landscapes, highlighting the potential risks associated with traveling very close to dangerous places for the sake of a picture.
