People have become significant earth movers, outpacing all sources of natural erosion. More and more of our footprint can be seen from space in many forms, including cities, reservoirs, agriculture and deforestation. Among the most impressive human scars on the planet are open-pit mines.
We’ve gathered some of the biggest, most spectacular and interesting mines, as captured by astronauts and satellites on the following pages.
Curious to see what kind of commentary this starts.
