Much of the world's nickel, palladium, and copper comes from a single location in Siberia, the Noril'sk mining facility. Because the metals must be extracted from sulfide ore, however, the same facility also produces much of the world's sulfur dioxide pollution. Image of the Day for December 5, 2008.
