AMAZIJNG HOLES OF WORLD

Amazing Holes - Don't Dare to Miss this! Posted by Blue Bird Sparrow | 9/10/2008 10:57:00 PM | , , , , | 7 comments »


Looking at photos like these scares and fascinates me in equal doses. The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are. Mirny Diamond Mine, Siberia. I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world, at 525 metres deep with a top diameter of 1200 metres there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.
