Description

From a Brazilian mine where 50,000 men haul heavy sacks of dirt up and down ladders in search of a nugget of gold, to a former lake in western Africa, where starving people walk over its surface of sand, photographer Sebastian Salgado explores the lives of the planet's often-ignored people.
