http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/3424 Mount Ijen is known for its sulfur men -- the traditional miners who dig for solid sulfur and carry dozens of kilograms of it daily down the mountain's slopes. A sulfur miner is seen making the dangerous climb back from the crater lake's edge. (JP/Indra Harsaputra) Only found in Indonesia, sulfur miners are also found at Mount Welirang, also in East Java. The sulfur these miners collect comes from the sulfurous gas sublimation of the volcano's sulfatara, a sulfur crater with a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade. Mount Ijen, or Kawah Ijen as it is more commonly known, has a daily sulfur capacity of around 8 tons. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/37132/_MG_0285_small.jpg http://www.lightstalkers.org/Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87673/sulfur_miner_01_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87673'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87673 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:45:13 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87673 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87673/sulfur_miner_01_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87673'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87664/sulfur_miner_02_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87664'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87664 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:45:13 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87664 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87664/sulfur_miner_02_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87664'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87676/sulfur_miner_04_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87676'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87676 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:50:36 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87676 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87676/sulfur_miner_04_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87676'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87670/sulfur_miner_03_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87670'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87670 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:36:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87670 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87670/sulfur_miner_03_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87670'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87679/sulfur_miner_05_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87679'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87679 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:39:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87679 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87679/sulfur_miner_05_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87679'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87691/sulfur_miner_09_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87691'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87691 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:39:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87691 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87691/sulfur_miner_09_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87691'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87694/sulfur_miner_08_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87694'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87694 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:39:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87694 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87694/sulfur_miner_08_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87694'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87697/sulfur_miner_10_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87697'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87697 Sun, 11 May 2008 10:39:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87697 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/87697/sulfur_miner_10_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/87697'>view full-size image</a> Ardiles Rante
