Stephanie DowlingThe Mining Ruins • Douglas Island, AK<br>
<br>
Treadwell Mines accumulated $70 million in gold at the start of the 20th century, but was abandoned and sold after a flood in 1917. A century later, the earth has begun to reclaim this land. When visiting the island, the past presence of the miners is inevitable, but also reflects the power of nature’s course. <br>
