INLAND

In the Sudbury Basin, in northern Ontario, at the heart of a 1.85-billion-year-old crater, miners extract nickel from the world’s largest nickel deposit. On these ancestral Indigenous lands, two kilometers beneath the surface, researchers work in a unique underground laboratory, SNOLAB, where they study astroparticles from the far reaches of space and time. In this complex and contrasting territory, members of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation, the miners, and the SNOLAB scientists share the same land. Past, present, and future coexist, revealing our relationship with Nature and its mysteries.
