Grasberg Mine is located in the remote mountains of West Papua 14,000 feet above see level and is the worlds largest mine of its kind. The conditions are extremely tough, the altitude alone has you gasping for air after a small amount of walking. There are nearly 20,000 local men and women employed at the mine, these are a just a few of the people performing their professions in this harsh but beautiful environment.
