Nope, it's not Chuquicamata.

The link is just to a photo, no coordinates. So this is actually Sandro's game, and the object is to find either the coordinates or (equivalently, since it's in Wikimapia) the name of what's in the picture.

How large would the penny be for that?
Could you use it as a radio dish like Arecibo?
