Imagine a volcano that doesn’t just erupt lava—it spits out real gold! In Indonesia, the Kawah Ijen volcano releases gases so rich in sulfur that tiny particles of pure gold form inside them. Scientists estimate that this volcano produces around $6,000 worth of gold every day, though most of it is impossible to collect. The extreme heat and toxic fumes make it way too dangerous for treasure hunters to get close. Still, the idea of a "gold-spewing volcano" sounds like something straight out of a pirate movie! Who knew nature had its own hidden gold factory?
