A general view of Kawah Ijen volcanic crater and the sulphur mines located at its foot
A general view of Kawah Ijen volcanic crater and the sulphur mines located at its foot in East Java June 2, 2008. Kawah Ijens sulphur miners trek over 8 km (5 miles) from the crater to a collection centre with loads weighing between 50 to 100 kg (110 - 220 pounds) on their shoulders to earn the equivalent of $7 a day. Around 10 tonnes of sulphur are extracted daily from the volcanic crater and are then used in sugar refineries, cosmetics, medicines and explosives. Picture taken June 2, 2008.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Kawah Ijen volcanic crater and the arduous work of sulphur miners at its foot. The panoramic view showcases the vastness of this natural wonder, with billowing smoke rising from the volcano's mouth, creating an ethereal atmosphere. In this remarkable scene, we witness the incredible determination and resilience of these miners as they embark on a grueling journey. Trekking over 8 kilometers (5 miles) each day, they carry heavy loads weighing between 50 to 100 kilograms (110 - 220 pounds) on their shoulders. Their back-breaking efforts earn them a meager wage equivalent to $7 per day. The sulphur mines located at the base of Kawah Ijen are a vital source for various industries. Approximately 10 tonnes of sulphur are extracted daily from this volcanic crater, serving as raw material for sugar refineries, cosmetics, medicines, and even explosives. Pablo Sanchez's photograph transports us to June 2nd, 2008 when he captured this poignant moment in East Java. Through his lens, we gain insight into both the breathtaking power of nature and the human spirit that perseveres against all odds. This image serves as a reminder of both the harsh realities faced by those who labor tirelessly in dangerous conditions and our reliance on Earth's resources for everyday products. It invites contemplation about sustainability and fair working conditions while evoking admiration for those who endure such hardships in pursuit of survival.
