ALL 2012 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest – in HIGH RESOLUTION. Part 4: “Travel Portraits”, Weeks 7-14 (67 Photos)

“Working in the hell”. This shot was done in a moment of break of this young guy who works every day as a miner of sulfur in the crater of the volcano Kawa Ijen, southeast of the of Java island, Indonesia. Is one of the most wasting jobs imaginable, work in extreme conditions with high temperatures, toxic exhalations that burning eyes and lungs. The stated life expectancy is 50 years and this guy is more fortunate than other boys like him because he can afford the luxury of working with a mask to filter toxic substances.
