Hibbing Hull Rust Mine: Minnesota’s Grand Canyon

[@PaulFidika]

I was there last year; great historic site

[@bv3710]

Found a ship manifest from a distant relative who arrived at Ellis Island in May 1914. Destination, Hibbing MN. I assume because of the iron ore mine as that was where he worked at back home

[@celathianaaron6057]

[@devenodell7452]

[@down2earthparanormal145]

[@modaljazz59]

[@martindavis9930]

What's up with the green ? You look like an extra in " ELF " !

[@april4872]

Does it produce toxic waste? Just curious

[@cartier2312]

It doesn’t produce toxic waste

[@burtmcgurt3584]

Prolly.

[@april4872]

@@cartier2312 that's awesome. I appreciate the time! I am just now learning about these things like with the mining in Arizona and other places. They were copper mines tho. Thank you so much 🙏✌

[@douglasthompson8927]

depends what you consider toxic

[@bhatkat]

No refining on site, no toxic waste. Taconite production does produce tailings which were once just dumped in the lake. This is now banned and they are placed in piles, hopefully with topsoil added so that nature can cover it back up.
