Miner carries the baskets with sulphur in the clouds of volcanic gas in the sulphur mines in the crater of the active volcano of Kawah Ijen in East Java, Indonesia. Every morning two hundreds miners climb down to the bottom of the crater for the next load of sulphur. They fill their baskets with sulphur manually and then carry that heavy load up on feet. Extremely hard work in the clouds of poisonous sulphur dioxide causes hard cough and running eyes almost immediately. However, the miners work without any protection. Just few of them have gas masks. Each miner earns approximately 10 US dollar
