A worker shields his face from a pile of burning garbage as another man is standing by at The Stung Meanchey Landfill in Cambodia. Fires spew noxious methane gas into the air and approximately 2000 people who scavenge here must endure these conditions daily to earn their livings. The dump is nicknamed "Smokey Mountain".
