Statue in Kellogg, Idaho, USA. The hillsides around Kellogg, barren from smelter fumes as late as the 1980s, have recovered and the area now hosts lots of upscale real-estate developments! I think this is a copy of a sculpture on the north side of I-90 that memorializes the 91 miners killed by a fire at the Sunshine Mine in 1972. It was one of the worst mine disasters in US history.
