Inco Superstack, Industrial chimney in Greater Sudbury, Canada

The Inco Superstack reaches a height of 381 meters, making it the tallest chimney in Canada and second tallest in the world.

The International Nickel Company constructed this flue-gas stack in 1972 at a cost of 25 million dollars to manage emissions from mining operations.

The structure represents the industrial legacy of Greater Sudbury, marking the skyline as a symbol of the region's mining and metallurgical activities.

Located at coordinates 46.480064, -81.056508, the chimney stands at the Vale Copper Cliff processing facility, visible from multiple locations throughout the city.

During construction in 1970, the structure withstood a severe tornado that caused significant swaying without sustaining structural damage.
