Bingham Canyon Mines

Let me start by saying few things that man does are more massive in scale than mining. In this particular case, they literally move mountains.







This simply amazing feat is what welcomes you at Bingham Canyon mines. A truly colossal mining project if there ever was one. The mine is so large, it can actually be seen from outer space (though I personally don't recall seeing it on my last visit).

For a mining project this vast to succeed, they need enormous mining trucks.


What, you say? That truck doesn't seem so large? Well perhaps you are missing the true scope here. Let us take a look at one of the six tires on that truck, yet from a slightly closer angle.



Yes, it is truly amazing. To end it all today, we'll have a little game. Click on the image below, and see if you can find the school bus.
