Cea mai mare mină de fier din lume "înghite" un oraş din Suedia. Autorităţile mută părţi din Kiruna, inclusiv o biserică de 672 de tone

The largest iron ore mine in the world is causing the relocation of an entire Arctic town in Sweden due to ground subsidence. A church weighing 672 tons was moved over two days, highlighting the challenges faced by residents. The mining company LKAB is responsible for the operation, which affects thousands of homes and residents. The new urban center was inaugurated in September 2022, with significant costs involved in the relocation process. The project also poses risks to the indigenous Sami community, whose traditional lands are impacted. The church will reopen in 2026 at its new location, while the original site will become a park.
