drift_bear Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Another email i recieved recently (some people wont understand the last pic) These holes are not only amazing, but some of them are really terrifying - especially number 8! The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are. 1. KimberleyBig Hole - South Africa Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, This 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds Before being closed in 1914. 2. Glory Hole - MonticelloDam , California 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' at Monticellodam, and it's the largest in the world Of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second. 3. BinghamCanyonMine , Utah This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction Began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing I n size Constantly In its current state the hole is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide 4. Great Blue Hole , Belize This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a Blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize .. There are numerous blue holes around the world, But none as stunning as this one. 5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute Beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mines in the world. At 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 having been sucked in. 6. Diavik Mine , Canada The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has Its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737. It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen. 7. Sinkhole in Guatemala These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred Early this year in Guatemala . The hole swallowed A dozen homes and killed at least 3 people. 8. And finally the biggest hole in the world Dundee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
