Sulphur Miners - (PICTURED The sulpher miners working in a live volcano.) - And you thought you had a hard day at the office, meet the sulphur miners who work in a live volcano and whose life expectancy is just 30 YEARS OLD. As these sobering pictures show around 200 brave souls toil up to 12 hours a day at the top of Ijen volcano, in Indonesia. The men - who earn just Ł3 a day - carry baskets of hardened yellow sulphur from the crater floor weighing around 70 to 90kg around ten times a day. The toxic air and fumes can be fatal if breathed too long at the mine where the men risk their lives to supply the hellish substance for oil and detergent companies. **NOT FOR SALE IN POLAND OR RUSSIA**
