Hurley, New Mexico US. This copper mine has for centuries been the trigger for violence between Native American people and the Spanish, then Northern European immigrants. It is now worked as a large open-pit mine, where ore-bearing rock is fractured by blasting to form levels called benches, before then being removed with large diesel-electric haul trucks. Diagonal ramps carry utilities into the mine pit, bringing electricity in and pumped water out. (Photo by J. Henry Fair/Industrial Scars/Papadakis Publisher)
