Most dangerous job in the world: The last of the Indonesian miners

📰 READ THE STORY: https://bit.ly/4kov0qP Miners who work in the Ijen ­volcano in East Java, Indonesia are some of the last in the world to mine sulphur by hand. While the tourists look down from the peak, taking selfies and long-exposure photographs of the “blue fire” phenomenon this volcano is renowned for, the miners work among the fumes and gases on the crater floor. They have limited protection and no certification or safety protocols – only each other and their livelihoods. Tonight, each of these 20 men will carry more than twice their body weight of sulphur out of the crater. They know this mineral – a bright ­yellow rock that brings economic stability and also cripples their health – as the Devil’s Gold. This is one of the most physically demanding and dangerous jobs in the world, but the men must still maintain a sense of joy and pleasure in their work, they say.
