The most difficult job in the world of the sulfur mines in Indonesia

Young men dragged their 90 kg sulphur 3 km down to the window back. Yeah, combine all your. The BBC took them about a good movie, and every day they become heroes of photochronic curious. Tourism in Igene although not adopted scope Bromo, still is not uncommon.





Well, the traffic on the trail is not quite big, otherwise how to pass between the guests of the volcano those for whom these 3 kilometers up empty and then again the same three, but down, and with the load – the only way of survival?





The miners work daily. In the morning, sometimes before dawn, they arrive at the beginning of the trail to Ijen. They also collect and tourist vehicles. Then with empty baskets going in your daily trek upstairs. Only 3 km away, and Someone goes in one, someone collects a bunch of friends, someone is attached to the tourists and along the way talks about his life and times, sometimes receiving in gratitude a cigarette or two.





Cigarettes on Igene – local currency. The miners happy you pose for photos with baggage or without – or will give you to at least try to raise them the "rod". Everyone will be grateful to the cigarette and it will smoke. They smoke incessantly.





Among miners we ran into only one, which this habit had not. Along the way there is a small "Dorm" for those who want to stay overnight closer to the workplace.
