Pure sulfur is actually not an irritant, you can touch it and handle it without gloves. It is only a problem if its burning, or powdered. They must protect their lungs from toxic fumes and dust, but apart from that, its fine. I have a pure natural piece of sulfur sitting on a shelf because it looks cool. It is close to a kilogram in weight and you can handle it just fine.

I cried while watching this....😢 I visited Ijen and saw the workers there. I really wish for better situation for these people

Nothing but respect for these miners.

I've been there and you really can't imagine how tough this is. I'm quite young in good shape and going up to the volcano and down to the crater and back it's hard. Doing it with 70kg on your back in flip flops is incredible, and these workers deserve all my admiration.

When I visited Mount Ijen pre-covid, I remember meeting these miners along the mountain and they were all in slippers. We had to hire a professional guide to guide us up the mountain and most of the time we were “dragged” up because the mountain was so steep. They were in slippers and had to carry kilograms of sulphur which in turn puts meals on their dining table everyday. They don’t even earn much from all the work they do. What really struck me was despite the harsh living conditions they were in, they were so happy. So grateful. So smiley. They would sit by the edge of the mountains every dawn and bit onto the breakfast they brought. I could see the light in their eyes like as if they were Hope. I was 15 then, and everywhere I went in Indonesia, I had a lesson to learn. I realised that sometimes the lesser we have, the more grateful we are.

He also demonstrates his early socialist sympathies when he stated that Germans had to be "something like Christ Socialists" The book also explores nature of God and the contemporary man: "modern man...is intrinsically a seeker of God, perhaps a Christ-man." Goebbels retained a small amount of Christianity, but an eccentric form, which diminished even more after the failed church reform program in 1934-35. One of Joseph Goebbels' biographers, Joachim Fest (who was also Hitler's biographer), suggests that Michael sheds light on Goebbels' state of mind and self-image: "The very name of the hero, Michael, to whom he gave many autobiographical features, suggests the way his self-identification was pointing: a figure of light, radiant, tall, unconquerable," and above all 'To be a soldier!

As a Gothic, I will provide a travel experience when visiting Indonesia for 7 months. I will tell you honestly because I don't like fakes, in the eyes of many foreign tourists, Indonesian tourist attractions are underestimated. Because they think that in Indonesia there are no very attractive places such as skyscrapers, modern trending places, luxurious culinary delights and world-class tourism. But I will explain, that their thinking is wrong. For me personally, even though Indonesia doesn't look fancy, it doesn't look expensive and it doesn't look stylish. However, Indonesia cannot be judged by price, because it appears simple but very meaningful. That's the most important thing. When I was there, I found 81 strange and unique natural attractions that even looked like they weren't real. I was speechless, because what I saw was like a different dimension. This is no joke. Let's compare and imagine, a skyscraper to me looks ordinary, a restaurant with a luxurious place to me is ordinary, a man-made tourist spot for me is also ordinary. Because they are all over the continents of Europe, America and Asia so it's not something epic and crazy. But in Indonesia you can stand in a natural tourist spot where you have experienced a major natural disaster that has impacted the world and claimed a very large number of lives. That's something very crazy in a lifetime, not only 1 or 2 places but there are so many in Indonesia. That's what amazes me, something that looks luxurious can't beat something that is very meaningful in life. Know about it. Indonesia made an impact on the world by having a history of enormous natural disasters written by the International Museum. Don't get me wrong, even though Indonesia doesn't look luxurious, its simplicity can have an impact on the world. In fact, many tourist attractions in Indonesia are included in the category that is immortalized by the international world. I visited Indonesia to learn something very important and I felt the sensation. The experience of traveling to Indonesia cannot be judged by price, but by meaning. In the eyes of ordinary people, Indonesian tourist attractions look unattractive because they are not modern, but for a scientist, historian and researcher it is a special trip. Tourist attractions in Indonesia do not look luxurious but are very meaningful by having a great history for the world.

I came to visit the crater with my father in 2019. We're Indonesian nationals living abroad who want to understand our culture and country. We had a lovely tour guide who guided us to see the blue flames that emit only in the early hours of the morning while its still dark. Instead of only going to the crater to see the spectacle, which was hard to see anyway due to rain, we were able to learn even more than we had initially expected. As the sun started to rise, we started to see the hardworking miners climb up and down carrying the dangerously heavy loads of sulfur. We enquired our tour guide further, where he explained he was also a miner at the crater once, but it took a heavy toll on his body, and tour guiding there was easier. He explained the pains that this video mentioned, and also stated that many of the miners there smoke cigarettes, because if they couldnt handle cigarettes, they wouldn't even need to think about dealing with the sulphuric funes down in the crater. It ached our hearts to see our countrymen having to suffer such tough ordeals and we developed a tremendous amount of respect for the miners' grit and resilience. As we neared the end of the trip, and proceeded to give our tour guide payment, my father decided to give the tour guide an extra tip, as we were touched by the tour guide and the miners for their bravery and strong hearts. Upon receiving the tip, the tour guide started to have tears drop from his eyes, and explained that the tip would allow him to have a few days off work and allow him to finally get some rest from the extremely tough and hazardous work. I really wish these miners would be treated much much much better and hope to see that this type of exploitation end. Although it was a very sad and painful thing to see, it was also inspiring that these workers kept pushing on no matter what, doing their best for their families despite the odds.

if I ever become rich I’m gonna go over to Indonesia and tip all of the miners $500

Risking their lives for $12-18 a day, while people here in America complain about minimum wage being 16.75/hour

its relative though, $16.75 would be great, if that were enough for an american to pay bills and get by

Here I am watching a youtube video about these group of people who mine sulfur from a Volcano in Indonesia at 10:56pm and these guys are probably mining the volcano right now as to its 11:56am in East Java Indonesia. The world is crazy...

I hiked this trail about 7 years ago. A truly great experience! You have tourists like me going up the hike with boots and all kinds of safety equipment. While these miners go up with nothing but sandals and their baskets. They are very friendly and would help you out if needed. But make sure to give them some cash, some of them are too shy to ask for it. Also another thing about the Sulphur smoke is that, it stays in your nostrils for a long time! I would randomly smell Sulphur few days after the hike, and just couldn't get rid of the smell. It also smells like a sewage tank, so not a pleasing smell at all.

Where is this? Can I show up and mine if I am white American or do you think I will have problems? Can I move to this region or would it be dangerous?

Wow the conclusion very well got to me in this one: “Ijen looms over them, A symbol of how mystar provides for his families lives, while it slowly takes his. A heavy weight to carry on his shoulders” Beautiful yet tragic, much respect to the workers and lots of credit to the reporter who covered this topic/story.

I keep watching this. I like his voice. Its gentle. The language its soft too.

"we dare to die because we're afraid of hunger" is such a powerful qoute

My heart goes out to Mistar and his colleagues. To hear those coughs and bellyaches must be humbling, knowing that your very job is shaving away your life, yet you have no other option. Much health to him and their families.
