Talk:Ijen

Merapi is in Central Java!!

The "Gunung Merapi" mentioned here cannot be the one in the referenced article, since Ijen is in East Java and Merapi is in Central Java!

I've removed the link and added a comment to avoid confusion.

Picture of the day

Sulfur mining near the one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acidic crater lake at the Ijen volcano complex, a group of stratovolcanoes in the Banyuwangi Regency of East Java, Indonesia. During the mining process, sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. The work is paid well relative to the cost of living in the area, but very onerous.Photograph: Sémhur

The Ijen volcano complex is located on East Java, Indonesia. An active vent at the edge of a crater lake is a source of elemental sulfur, and supports a labor-intensive mining operation. Escaping volcanic gases are channeled through a network of ceramic pipes, resulting in condensation of molten sulfur. The deep red condensate pours slowly from the ends of these pipes and pools on the ground, turning bright yellow as it solidifies. The miners break the cooled material into large pieces and carry it away in baskets. Miners carry loads of up to 90 kilograms (200 lb), up to the crater rim and then 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) down the mountainside for weighing. Most miners make this journey twice a day, and in 2010 could earn the equivalent of US$13 for their efforts.

They should use containers?

Why don’t they put the red liquid pooling on the ground that they break up so laboriously into a simple dissasemblable container? Seems like maybe you guys could use your brains a bit instead of just breathing all that shit in? I’m wondering if this is fake this seems too obvious… is the company running the mining operation just actively evil? 2600:1702:3B40:40E0:3C2F:6CD2:5F1F:CF9D (talk) 21:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
