Amazing Holes in the World

Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tonnes of diamonds before being closed in The amount of earth removed by workers is estimated to total 22.5 million tons.

Glory Hole - Monticello Dam A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir. This is the glory hole belonging to Monticello dam in California and it's the largest in the world. Its size enables it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second. The hole can be seen at the top left of the photo on the next page. If you were to jump in for some reason your slightly dead body would shoot out near the bottom of the dam.

Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today. The pit is constantly increasing in size. In its current state the hole is 3/4 mile deep and 2.5 miles wide.

50 tonne truck

Great Blue Hole, Belize Situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize this is an incredible, geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole. There are numerous blue holes around the world but none as stunning as this one. At surface level the near perfectly circular hole is 1/4 mile wide. The depth in the middle reaching 145 meters. Obviously the hole is a huge hit with divers.

Mirny Diamond Mine, Serbia This mine is an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world. It is 525 meters deep with a top diameter of 1200 meters. There's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.

Diavik Mine, Canada This incredible mine can be found 300km northeast of Yellowknife in Canada. (It's amazing that it doesn't fill up with water, being surrounded by it.) The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it even has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737.

Sinkhole, Guatemala A sinkhole is caused when water (usually rainwater or sewage) is soaked up by the earth on a large scale, or when drought causes the water table to drop, leaving large sub surface voids that can result in the ground collapsing. The following sinkhole is approx. 100m deep and it swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least 23 people.

Officials blamed the monster of a hole on a ruptured sewage pipe but geodesists know that such a hole can open up under anyone’s home. Hector Andreas had just gotten out of bed when the floor went out from under his home, leaving him stranded along the existing wall with just enough floor to escape certain death.
