Upon arriving at this location we were immediately overcome by the sheer size of the complex. We then parked and made our way toward our entry point. Immediately our cameras were out and tripods set up. This place is simply incredible for pictures.
At first we were presented with these train cars used to move around the ore and slag from the furnaces.

After this we made our way into an open field area with a depressed circular area which I am not sure what was used for.

After here, we made our way into the furnaces. Along the way we had to make our way through all kinds of valves and enormous pipes.

After being there for several hours, I noticed people walking along the area with the depressed bowl in the ground. I found my fellow explorer and we determined they were also explores. After going down several catwalks, stairways and ramps, we finally met up with them. Turns out they are regular explorers there and warned us how the security works there. After talking with them, we decided we seen enough and not to push our luck. Made our way to our entrance, headed out and walked back to our car, looking back at what we just concord. Simply an amazing day.
