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. Cirilo and his partners sat far into the tunnels and celebrated the friday by chatting about women and adventures. But in fact, the miner's life is very sad, he said. Potosí, Bólivía. Borgin í skugga fjalllsins Cerro Rico í rúmlega 4000 m hæð, þar sem voru einhverjar auðugustu silfurnámur allra tíma, arðrændar af Spænskum en undir þeirra stjórn dóu milljónir í námunum. Djúpt inni í fjallinu sitja námamenn, tyggja kókalauf, reykja og láta sig dreyma um konur og annað líf.
