Berkeley Pit

Reflections at Berkely Pit in Butte, Montana. The pit is a former open pit copper mine, the water of which is heavily acidic due to contanaments including copper, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric acid. The rising water level of the pit is a threatening environmental disaster as the water level rises to where it could flood into natural groundwater. · · · #berkeleypit #buttemontana #butte #montana #environmentalscience #eco #earthday #climatechange #reducereuserecyle #williamhager #landscapephotography #picoftheday #dailypic #photooftheday #l4l #f4f #natgeo #earthpix
