These are the men who risk their lives by mining toxic sulphur from inside a live volcano - for just $15-20 a day.
The miners work there without any sufficient protection.

A typical miner carries around 300 kilograms of sulphur from the mine each day.
Around 200 of these brave young men toil on the crater floor of the Ijen volcano.
