The old ammonia leaching plant at the Kennecott copper mine. To the left is the largely debris-covered Kennicott Glacier (yes, the spelling is different) and the flanks of Mt. Blackburn (16,390 ft – 4,996 m) hiding behind the clouds. Kennecott is a stunning historical mining town in Wrangell St. Elias National Park in southcentral Alaska that is accessed via a 60-mile long dirt road.
