From Moonscape To Lake District: East Germany's Coal Mines
JAENSCHWALDE, GERMANY - AUGUST 20: A bulldozer stands among patterns of soil, called overburden, redeposited in successive layers as part of strip mining in the Jaenschwalde open-pit lignite coal mine on August 20, 2010 near Jaenschwalde, Germany. The Jaenschwalde mine feeds coal to the nearby Jaenschwalde power plant, which is one of the biggest single producers of CO2 gas in Europe. The area of northern Saxony and southern Brandenburg is scarred with active and former mines, and a large-scale project is underway to flood the massive pits and convert them into lakes for tourism. The Lausitz and Middle German Mining and Administration Association (LMBV) is converting a total of 51 former mines into lakes, and a similar project is planned for former mines in neighboring Poland.
