Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining
Info

Mountains in Appalachia are systematically dismantled in order to extract coal more cheaply. This image shows a still relatively early stage in the process of Mountain Top Removal mining. Hundreds of feet of elevation will ultimately be blasted from each mountain. Over 500 mountains have been destroyed to this point. Boone County, WV
