"Scars on My Body": The Sulfur Miners at Indonesia's Mount Ijen

The sulfur miners at Indonesia's Mount Ijen risk their bodies for little pay -- and they've now become a tourist attraction.

"When they are on the job, the workers carry the load some 9,000 feet, going up a steep mountain to the crater’s edge, then trekking another nearly two miles through the jungle to a collection point at Pos Paltuding. Many only earn between $10 and $15 a day. Still, it remains one of the highest paid occupations in the region. 

Clouds of toxic sulfur engulf them. Some suffer from skin problems and injuries. They cough, and their eyes water, but few have gas masks to protect against the fumes."
