EDITORS COMMENTS
A Guerra do Enxofre" (The Sulfur War), captured by Portuguese photographer António Carreira, is an awe-inspiring image that transports us to the otherworldly landscape of Kawah Ijen, a volcanic complex located in East Java, Indonesia. The sulfur mines of Kawah Ijen have long been a source of fascination for photographers and adventurers alike, due to the surreal and otherworldly environment created by the constant sulfur emissions. Carreira's photograph captures the intense and dangerous work of the miners as they toil in the sulfur crater, their faces obscured by masks to protect against the toxic fumes. The bright yellow sulfur deposits contrast sharply against the inky blackness of the crater floor, while the ominous smoke plumes rise ominously into the sky. The scene is further enhanced by the dim, otherworldly light that filters through the clouds, casting an eerie glow over the landscape. Despite the hazardous conditions, the miners continue their work, driven by the need to earn a living. The sulfur is transported out of the crater on bamboo baskets, balanced precariously on the miners' shoulders, and carried down the steep slopes to be sold for use in various industries. The process is both physically and chemically demanding, with the miners exposed to dangerous levels of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Carreira's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit and resilience, as well as the harsh realities of the natural world. The image invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by the miners and the impact of our consumption of sulfur and other natural resources on the lives of those who extract them.
