Minefields

Minefields are areas contaminated with explosive devices called landmines, which are hidden beneath the surface. These devices are designed to detonate when stepped on, triggered by pressure, movement, or proximity. Minefields are often used in military conflicts to slow or prevent enemy movement and can remain dangerous for decades after conflicts end. Clearing a minefield involves careful, systematic detection and removal of the mines, often using specialized equipment and trained personnel. This process is essential for making land safe for civilians and future use, but it is complex and potentially hazardous due to the hidden and unpredictable nature of the mines.
