DescriptionToquepala mine.jpg	English: This image looks down the bull’s-eye of Peru’s Toquepala copper mine, a steep sided and stepped open-pit mine. Mid-afternoon sunlight on the arid slopes of the central Andes mountains provides an accent to the mine contours. At the surface the open pit is 2.5 kilometers across, and it descends more than 700 meters into the earth.
