PHOTO COPYRIGHT: EINAR FALUR INGOLFSSON / MORGUNBLADID Potosi, Bolivia. The town lies beneath Mt. Cerro Rico in more than 4000 meters. There were some of the richest silver mines of all times. Under the Spainsh milions of slaves died there. Still poor local miners are searching in the mountain for minerals. Felix is 62 years old, one of the oldest workers in the mine, but is still digging all week long. In 40 degrees and foul air, four stores below the main shaft. In the mouth is the indespensible coca wad. Potosí, Bólivía. Borgin í skugga fjalllsins Cerro Rico í rúmlega 4000 m hæð, þar sem voru einhverjar auðugusti silfurnámur allra tíma, arðrændar af Spænskum en undir þeirra stjórn dóu milljónir í námunum. Námumaður djúpt inni í fjallinu, með kókalauf í kinnini.
