Sky lanterns can reach a height of 600 - 800 meters, depending on the atmospheric conditions, the fuel cell will burn up to 10 minutes, after it dies the sky lantern wil float slowly back to earth.
Fire resistant paper
The paper that has been used to construct the sky lanterns is thin but resistant, besides that also fire resistant or flame retardant. These characteristics are important to guarantee safety of the sky lanterns, lanterns made of not fire resistant paper can create dangerous situations and fires.
