    In this paper the authors construct complete (conformal) minimal immersions \(f: {\mathbb D} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^3\) which admit continuous extensions to the closed disk, \(F: \overline{\mathbb D} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^3\). Moreover, \(F_{| {\mathbb S}^1}: {\mathbb S}^1 \rightarrow F({\mathbb S}^1)\) is a homeomorphism and \(F({\mathbb S}^1)\) is a (non-rectifiable) Jordan curve with Hausdorff dimension 1. It turns out that the set of Jordan curves \(F({\mathbb S}^1)\) constructed by the above procedure is dense in the space of Jordan curves of \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with the Hausdorff metric.
