Kupol Gold Mine
Capitalizing on his Russian civil engineering degree and his fluency in Russian, Chap took a job at the Kupol gold mine just across the arctic circle in north-east Siberia. When I asked him how he was able to segue from levee rebuilding in New Orleans to gold mining in Kupol, he replied, "I know how to move dirt". I never visited Kupol but thought I would include his pictures anyhow.
