It's a set of volcanic islands called Izu Islands, off of Japan that have so much sulfur that it's resident's must wear gas masks outside.

In early 2000 the islands were evacuated, due to a volcano emiting dangerous gasses.

In 2005, people were allowed to go back, but they were required to keep a gas mask with them at all times.

Scientists are on the volcanic islands to conduct experiments on the deteriorating land and atmosphere.

Those who live there have to wear gas masks for most of the day. So, watch out for the Izu Islands or bring a gas mask!
