RE: Sulfur Miners of Kawah Ijen, Indonesia

Your images look both beautiful and bleak at the same time. A photographers dream but life for the people who live and work there looks so brutal. Thanks for bringing to light some of the complexities of adventure travel.

      Thanks @oceanelement! Those miners are really risking their lives everyday. Working in such environment can really cause health problems. I'm hoping their lives would get better. I can think of a lot of solutions on how to make their life easier and less harmful. It's the job of a photographer to share stories like these to help spread awareness and hopefully come up with solutions.

        Well said @legendarryll, I couldn't agree more.
