Ijen Miners

伊真矿工

Ijen Volcano, located in eastern Java, Indonesia, is characterized by its crater containing a sulfuric lake and abundant sulfur deposits. Here, miners work daily in hazardous conditions, extracting sulfur from the volcano's crater.

They brave the dangers by climbing the active volcano, navigating through sulfur gas, and hauling sulfur in baskets out of the crater. Despite the harsh working conditions and meager pay – typically earning around £3 for carrying up to 90 kilograms of sulfur per day – they persevere to sustain their livelihoods.

For them, work is not just a means of survival but a courageous challenge in life. Despite facing life-threatening situations daily, they continue to press forward, striving for themselves and their families. The stories of these brave miners are not only admirable but also serve as a reminder to cherish life and to remember that in some parts of the world, people are still struggling in harsh conditions.

伊真火山位于印尼爪哇岛东部，是由多个小型复合火山组成的火山口，以其火山口湖和丰富的硫磺而闻名。在这里，矿工们每天都在面临生命危险的环境中工作，从火山坑中开采硫磺。

他们需要冒着生命危险爬上活火山，穿梭在硫磺气体中，将硫磺装入篮子并艰难地运出火山坑。尽管工作条件恶劣，报酬微薄，每天扛着最多90公斤硫磺只能换取3英镑左右的收入，但他们不得不坚持下去，为了维持生计。

对他们来说，工作不仅是谋生手段，更是对生活的勇敢挑战。尽管每天面临生命危险，但他们依然坚韧前行，为了自己和家人的生计而努力奋斗。这些勇敢的矿工们的故事令人敬佩，也提醒我们珍惜生活，不忘世界某些地方仍有人在艰难环境下奋斗的事实。
