Photo 1 of 4 Indonesian sulphur miners carry blocks of sulphur from the volcano's crator
By Jerome Rivet (AFP) – 1 day ago
KAWAH IJEN, Indonesia — A thick, acrid smoke stings his eyes but Bambang presses on down the side of Indonesia's Kajah Iwen volcano, bending under the weight of the sulphur he carries on his shoulders.
To avoid the highly toxic gas, the young man of 22 bites on a wet cloth. "I don't have enough money to buy a gas mask," he said.
Bambang is one of 350 sulphur miners who eke out a dangerous and exhausting living on the active volcano, in the extreme east of Java island.
