- Info Aerial view (from helicopter) of the former open-pit mines of Kiirunavaara (foreground) and Luossavaara (background) and the arctic mining town of Kiruna. Under the mountains and city center is one of the largest and richest bodies of iron ore in the world. Today Kiruna Mine is the largest and most modern underground iron ore mine in the world and since mining began at the site in 1898, the mine has produced over 950 million tonnes of ore.

- Question - As usual, FP search is not working. I have a funny feeling of deja vu - didn't you nominate, and didn't we feature another picture, showing the current and future sites of Kiruna plus some mines? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:42, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- Info @Ikan Kekek: A very different images, and it was not featured.--ArildV (talk) 11:46, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

- Support I like this much better than the previous one. The cloud layers and distant fjälls go well with the soft earth tones. Resolution is fine considering it is taken from a helicopter. I think we may have become too spoiled by all the recent Hasselblad panoramas here. ;-) --Cart (talk) 16:48, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
