Description
Español: Vista panorámica de Chuquicamata, una mina de cobre nacionalizada situada a 2,850m de altura sobre el nivel del mar en las cercanías de la ciudad de Calama, norte de Chile. Chuquicamata es la mayor mina de cobre abierta del mundo por volumen excavado y se comenzó en 1882 para extraer oro y cobre. Tiene 4,5 km de largo, 3,5 de ancho y 850 m de profundidad, lo que la convierte en la segunda mina abierta más profunda del mundo (después de la mina del cañón de Bingham en Utah, Estados Unidos).
English: Panoramic view of Chuquicamata, a state-owned copper mine located at 2,850 metres (9,350 ft) above sea level just outside Calama, north of Chile. It is by excavated volume the largest open pit copper mine in the world. The huge hole was started in 1882 as a mine to extract gold and copper. It is 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) long, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) wide and with a depth of 850 metres (2,790 ft) it is the second deepest open-pit mine in the world (after Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah, USA).
