Sheer scale (4.00 / 3)
An interesting take. It fits the facts.

One thing you might add is that the reason Alcoa established a smelter in Iceland was the fact that electricity is virtually 'free'. Smelting aluminum is very very energy intensive.

A large harbour was also built for incoming bulk ore.
