How does one go about relocating 3 mountain glaciers... Do you just move them over to the next mountain...? Or do you simply use some dynamite to relocate them to the valley...!!

"Chile's government has given Barrick Gold Corp. the go-ahead to build a $1.5 billion gold mine in the Andes mountains despite opposition from local environmentalists.

Chile did, however, make a major concession to the environmentalists when it prohibited Barrick from relocating three mountain glaciers. The gold is buried under the ice.

Barrick expects to start production of the Pascua Lama project in 2009, giving it an estimated 17 million ounces of gold over 20 years."
