with yellow sulfur on their shoulders.According to a local tour guide

miners have been extracting sulfur here since 1968, they work at night
alongside a stunning blue fire for tourists to escape the hot sun.
Miners extract sulfur rock, which forms after a blue fire goes out and
leaves sulfur behind. They then carried this sulfur into a basket on
the side of the mountain to sell for their daily income.
