Deepest And Strangest Holes on The Earth

Strange & Mysterious holes of our world

Today in this post we are going to see some of the mysterious holes on the surface of the earth. Some of them are made by humans, but some are made by unknown natural forces. Let’s get started:

1.     Strange hole of Siberia:

In Yamal (located in Siberia), suddenly a hole was formed which depth is around 200 feets. No one knows how it was formed. This area is known for its mysterious sinkhole.

It was July when a group of shepherd saw it, and they were frightened. But there were more surprises in the queue because this hole of 80m diameter wasn’t alone, there were more like this.

When analysis of this hole was done then report said that there was a blast in this hole located in Yamal because particles of sand and stones were thrown 120 m away from the hole. The difficulty was that this incident wasn’t connected with any of known factors. People tried to connect it with earthquake and meteoroid, but there wasn’t any earthquake or strike of a meteoroid in near past.

Russian scientists made the team and they got down in the hole. In hole they found wet surface and water froze to ice. By seeing crater, It seemed that something went outside from hole.

Research is still ongoing on this hole, but no valid reason is found till now.

2.     KTB Superdeep Borehole:

September 1990, a group of scientists made a deep hole in the surface of the earth by drilling. This facility is located in south Germany. The goal of this project was to reach the core of the earth. This project was named as KTB Superdeep Borehole.

Scientists successfully made a hole of 6 miles depth by drilling. They passed through tectonic plates and boiling hydrogen. At that level, they measured that earth temperature is around 315 degree Celsius. 

They succeed to solve some unknown mysteries about our earth. They touched a stone which is 25 million years old. They also recorded voices coming from the core of the earth.

Scientists have stopped working on this project because of financial matters. Their dream to touch the earth’s core wasn't fulfilled.

3.     Strange sand hole in Indiana National Park:

In 2013, A boy wondering in Indiana National Park was suddenly swallowed by a Sand hole, after 3 hours of hard work and efforts boy was saved. But it was just a beginning because this sand hole wasn’t alone. There were formations of many others like this one.

After this incident geologists were surprised because they couldn’t find reasons of this. Ground Penetrating Radar was also used to find reasons behind these sand holes. But there was no conclusion of this at all.

These sand holes were formed in a mysterious way and next day just disappeared. Indiana National Park was declared as restricted area due to security reason because numbers of these sand holes were large. This is just one of mysterious which is waiting to be solved.

4.     Chand Baori (step well), Rajasthan.

This Bari was constructed by King Mihir Bhoj in the 9^th century. This is biggest Baron of the world. There are many stairs in this Board as shown in the figure. As per locals, this Bari was constructed only in one night.

A scene from ‘Batman: Dark Knight Rises,' In which Bruce is thrown into a dark well by Bane. This entire scene of the dark well was filmed in Chand Baori.

5.     Mir Mine Hole, Russia

This hole is most dangerous and most expensive hole in the world. This hole is located east Siberia. This hole is also known as Diamond City. The net worth of this hole is around 16622 Million dollars.

Actually, this hole was a mining site of Russian Company ALROSA. The depth of this hole is 1722 feet. This is the deepest hole made by a human on earth. The diameter of this hole is around 3.5 Kms.

It was word dangerous hole because it can suck helicopters and aircraft flying over it. This mining site is inactive nowadays, but ALROSA was getting around 2 lacks carrot of diamond per year from this hole. And the price of these all diamond is in millions of pounds.

Around 23% of total rough diamond were produced from this hole. In 2014 ALROSA got 6 million karats of rough diamonds from this mine hole.
