Lien Kawah Volcano, Java, Indonesia 2014. A miner shows how the heavy load has been affecting his back. Besides breathing the toxic gases released inside the volcano, the Sulphur miners have wounded shoulders, deformed spines and bent legs due to carrying loads between 70kg (150lb.) and 90kg (200lb.) of Sulphur by shoulder. The Sulhpur miners work for a maximum of 3/4 times a week so to have enough time to recover after the exhausting physical effort they have to bear when they carry Sulphur from the volcano’s crater to the base camp (approximately 11.000ft).
