Foreign Policy has a photographic essay on the sulphur workers at Mt. Ijen at the far eastern coast of Java. Travelers can also visit and observe the action, but taking a bus from Bali to the western crossing and then going south instead of the usual northern route toward Surabaya. Once in Banyuwangi, find a guesthouse and then a local guide to take you up the slopes of Ijen, then hike to the summit to watch the workers arrive with their blocks of sulphur.
