The sulphur carriers in the active volcano Ijen extract the sulphur and 2 or 3 times a day they make the very arduous climb up from the crater to the valley with +/- 70KG of sulphur stone in their baskets In the background you can see extremely toxic sulphur lake and also the sulphur smoke coming from the mountain.
Tests have shown that in terms of acid content, this is the most toxic place on earth. A very impressive BBC "your planet" documentary about this crater and sulphur mining can be found at the youtube link below. http://www.youtube.com/embed/NQULD1GRoGw?autoplay=1&hd=1
