Description
The Caland and Steep Rock Iron Mines represent amazing feats of engineering and construction. Long before the days of computerized projections and simulations, engineers in the first half of the 20th century were able to accurately predict how moving 280 million cubic yards of water, silt and gravel would affect the area around what would be five of Canada’s premier iron ore mines. Although the mines closed in 1979 and 1980, they are still quite a sight to see- horrifying in their destruction of the land, but beautiful in their complexity.
