Photographer Olivier Grunewald
has recently made several trips into the sulfur mine in the crater of
the Kawah Ijen volcano in East Java, Indonesia, bringing with him
equipment to capture surreal images lit by moonlight, torches, and the
blue flames of burning molten sulfur. Covered last year
in the Big Picture (in daylight), the miners of the 2,600 meter tall
(8,660ft) Kawah Ijen volcano trek up to the crater, then down to the
shore of a 200-meter-deep crater lake of sulfuric acid, where they
retrieve heavy chunks of pure sulfur to carry back to a weighing
station. Mr. Grunewald has been kind enough to share with us the
following other-worldly photos of these men as they do their hazardous
work under the light of the moon.........
