The Wider Image: Border jam puts Mongolias coal lifeline under threat
A photographer casts his shadow near a coal truck which flipped over at Khanbogd Soum, near the border with China in the Gobi desert, Mongolia, October 29, 2017. Getting to the border can be a harrowing ordeal, as vehicles speed towards China and back down the one-lane road. With no street lamps to guide the way and drink-driving a constant problem, danger levels increase at night, drivers say. REUTERS/B. Rentsendorj SEARCH " RENTSENDORJ KHANBOGD" FOR THIS STORY.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rentsendorj Bazarsukh, the harsh reality of Mongolia's coal industry is vividly captured. The image showcases a photographer casting his shadow near a flipped-over coal truck in Khanbogd Soum, located in the Gobi desert near the border with China. The photograph highlights the treacherous journey faced by drivers who transport coal to China along a one-lane road. With no street lamps to guide their way and drink-driving posing a constant threat, danger levels skyrocket at night. The silhouette of the photographer against an arid landscape serves as a haunting reminder of the perils these drivers face daily. The composition also draws attention to the environmental impact caused by Mongolia's reliance on coal mining for its economic lifeline. As vehicles speed towards China, leaving trails of dust behind them, it becomes evident that this vital resource is not without consequences. Bazarsukh's skillful use of light and shadows adds depth to this thought-provoking image. Against an expansive sky and barren ground, he captures both the beauty and brutality inherent in Mongolia's coal industry. This powerful snapshot reminds us that while coal may be essential for survival in some regions, it also poses significant risks to human lives and our environment as we strive for progress.
