The sulphur miners in Ijen volcano of Indonesia is one of the hardest job
in the world. Without any machine assistance, the miners have to lift 70-
80KG of sulphur stones and walk for about 10 km a day. Surrounding
from toxic gas and tough working environment, many of them are
suffered from permanent damage of the lung and backbone, in exchange
of the salary of about USD 13 per day.
