Garzweiler Strip
from when life reflects art by Dental Drill Slips
about
The biggest mining operation on Earth can be found in Germany. At the Garzweiler strip mine they remove the top ground layer to extract lignite. The total mining surface is a staggering 48 km² and several villages had to be moved for the mining operation. It is home to Bagger 288, a 13,500 ton bucket-wheel excavator that is the largest land vehicle in the world. After the mine’s depletion, it will be filled with water from nearby rivers, creating Germany’s second largest lake.
