In Avalanche, a production truck at Hibbing Taconite is captured in the act of dumping a load of waste rock over the edge of an embankment. In the foreground, a stand of birch trees clings to the edge of the snow-covered cliff, several hundred feet above the pit floor. The crimson slope, free of snow cover, illustrates how rapidly mining topography changes.
