Men Who Risk Their Lives by Mining Toxic Sulphur From INsde a Live Volcano--
Emma Reynolds
Think your work is hell? Thank your lucky stars you didn't have to mine sulphur for 12 hours in a volcano crater filled with toxic fumes that will probably kill you before you are 30
- The 200 men who work in the crater may not reach the age of 30 because of poisonous fumes
- They climb 2,000m each day before descent down steep, dangerous paths
These are the men who risk their lives by mining toxic sulphur from inside a live volcano - for just £3 a day.
They may not even reach 30, after spending up to 12 hours at a time surrounded by rasping smoke, just yards from a lake filled with acid.
Around 200 of these brave young men toil on the crater floor of the Ijen volcano in Indonesia.
