Promptly at 12 am starting to walk into the hiking trail, moonlit night, the sky is clear & star scattered.

After walking about 15 minutes the bearers passed with sulfur, the sulfur bearers began their activities since the hours of 10 pm, they began to climb toward the crater. A bit too quiet streets alone because it is often met with sulfur miners. About 1 hour walk, arrived at the Post Bunder, ga closed shop can drink warm water deh ... a short break & find Jumanto pack that will accompany me during his stay at Ijen crater tonight.
Mr. Jumanto is one of the officers of the 15 people Sulfur Sulfur Guard designated by the company, sulfur guard duty is to extinguish the flames coming out of the crater so as not to burn the sulfur. When his officers sulfur for 15 days each month in 24-hour shift system, alternately located in the crater of day or night. Sulfur wage workers for 15 days is Rp.600ribu. To earn extra income, they sometimes also be a sulfur miners.
After meeting with Mr. Jumanto, proceed to Ijen crater, around 2 am to the edge of the crater of Ijen all add to the cold winds that night. According Jumanto pack when the weather is not bright moon will be visible cahaya2 of torches carried by the bearers of sulfur along the path to the crater.
