- With a lake of pure acid and strange blue flames that emanate from beneath the volcano, Kawah Ijen is surely one of the most dangerous places to work in the world. Yet people risk their lives to work at the crater…geologist Dr Glyn Williams-Jones and filmmaker Régis Etienne explain why.

Wife: Practically is sad & devastated that her husband is risking his life.
*cuts to husband humming a lovely tune as he marches up into the mouth of Hell*
ikr lol
A força da Mãe Natureza
WOW !!!
What a hellatious way to make a living.
The "free market" in action lol
Anyone who has money, especially millionaires and billionaires ought to send them way more than enough money to support anyone who has to do this, and so they can get away from there....Rich people can be some of the greediest...People ought to start ongoing donations to help them...
Beautiful but deadly.
Good night ji 🙏
I'm convinced it's Hell fire.
woowwww!!
Felling sad for the workers
how do u film this?
Why don't anyone start a GoFundMe to at least get those people some masks and conveyor belts to move the sulfur.
We shouldn't encourage them. The whole place could go up at any minute.
@@KFrost-fx7dt Because not encouraging them is just about to work?
@@kinslerable If enough of them die or get blown up in explostions then they'll finally get the message. Maybe.
LOL Gofundme? Seriously? The probably don't even have that in this country. Why do you want to give them money anyway? It's not up to you or I to save the world.
@@KFrost-fx7dt That is not how gofund me works borders are not a big issue, people donate small amount of money to the campaign after that supplies are bought online and sent to them.
Well i am not going to start a gofundme, but why are they making this video about the crappy conditions these men work in if not to try to help them, just so people like you can yell out "Sucks to be you!".
@@kinslerable You are clueless about how the world works. They're focusing on the conditions inside the volcano because it gets attention. 99.999% of people in the world have "crappy" jobs. It is the height of arrogance and privilege for you to think these people even want your help.
What companies are at at the end of the supply chain?
Pharmacy
Just wanted to make a comment on the end. Yes, say you can warn the workers and stop them from going there, then what, how are they going to get paid? That's their job. They don't have the luxury to call in sick or just leave work for a week. People in the west need to realize this when they start to directly impact workers in a low wealth area. In the end no matter what you do they'll go and work there even if it's very dangerous. Funny thing the guy in the "top" who probably isn't even there is making a lot of money. Cheap labor is easy to come by in areas like that. I'm glad we didn't see children working there but you never know what's really going on when the camera team leaves. Also called reality.
If you really wanted to help people like this then you'd go to the root of the problem to why poverty is so widespread and deal with that head on. Of course that won't happen because it'll take time and money so let's just look away and ignore it while focusing on other things.
Thank you for defending those who can’t I’m sure your making an incredible difference one comment at a time
Yup, same as poaching and people migration.
Yea our comments are making a difference even though we don’t do anything other than be triggered but we make a difference!!!!!
Why should we do anything for these fools? They choose to work inside an active volcano instead of farming or something. We are not their bosses.
@Matthew Morycinski 👍🏾
So......they keep saying that the color of the lake is a beautiful deep blue color yet BBC can't capture the color and only managed a seafoam green?? For shame.
That's what you took away from that video?
@@JenniferIngrey 👍🏻😉
They said a few times it was "occasionally" iridescent blue, so I'm guessing it's variable
What happened to the lady who went in knee deep?
Brimstone fire
Yes
I don't get it. Nobody is forcing them to work there. Sure they are being exploited but don't they know that working there is basically asking to die?
They had mentioned it pays double or something vs working in the fields, but yeah ultimately it's a tradeoff choice, and they're choosing to make the sacrifice, I guess.
Choice is a luxury. Because they are so poor, they need the money to support their family. Even if its life risking.
They dont have the luxury of choosing where they can work.
I hope you understand what I mean. Yes they chose to work there but thats only because they really really have to. They dont have the luxury of saying no to a job that pays them double the amout.
Anyone who has money, especially millionaires and billionaires ought to send them way more than enough money to support anyone who has to do this, and so they can get away from there....Rich people can be some of the greediest...People ought to start ongoing donations to help them...
That's soft green

1st view
I don’t see any feminists here saying we also need women in this job since it’s only comprised of men and is so patriarchal!!!
You also don't see any feminists (nazi or otherwise) in their country - they simply don't have a voice.
femisists are in higher numbers in western countries where they're are allowed to conduct themselves in ways they aren't allowed to in other countries.
@@thvtsydneylyf3th077 exactly! Don't forget there are males who are also feminists, have you read "I am Malala"?
There are a few female volcanologists who work in the field globally. Only the most passionate and determined to ignore the sexism will succeed - as in all workplace scenarios.
@@LynHannan no i haven't. Whats it about?
God.
there s no explanation that this volcano is in INDONESIA hahahhahaha why? why? this is in indonesia *the beautiful country in the world*
