That looks like an lake bed to me, but other than that I havn't a clue.

hint: the red flow is not hot, and it is man-made.

Is it the run-off from some tailings in an ore mine, e.g., S. African gold or platinum mine?

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 05:16

Brian is correct-these are tailings from a mine operation, but not gold or platinum

**Umfriend** · 27 January 2006, 05:58

Iron.

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 06:14

Actually, the tailings are mostly discarded oxidized iron.
Nobody has actually hit the right country yet

**Umfriend** · 27 January 2006, 06:22

Laos (a guess)

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 06:25

No sir.

**Umfriend** · 27 January 2006, 06:34

Is it in southeast Asia?

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 06:37

not Asia

once you identify the the mineral being mined, the answer should be fairly simple.

Just a guess: A Diamond Mine in Africa?

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 06:54

not diamonds, or Africa

**Umfriend** · 27 January 2006, 07:02

Were talking Iron mining here, right? Is it in the US? Ishpeming, Michigan, MI?

**gt40** · 27 January 2006, 07:31

No, it's not Iron mining. The iron oxide is a waste product.
but your are atleast on the right continent

, just the wrong country
