Factory worker spreads molten and filtered sulphur on the ceramic floor to cool into sheets at the sulphur factory in the village of Tamansari in Central Java, Indonesia. When sulphur hardened, it is broken into pieces and loaded into sacks. The factory located in the jungle next to the village processes from 9 to 12 tons of sulphur per day delivered here from the nearby sulphur mines in the crater of the active volcano of Kawah Ijen.

It is believed the work at the factory is even more dangerous, than the work at the sulphur mines.
