SECOND BIGGEST HUMAN-MADE HOLE IN THE WORLD

Mirny Diamond Mine, Eastern Siberia, Russia is the second biggest human-made hole in the world (525 metre deep and 1200 metres in diameter) , made for diamond extraction. This mine was permanently closed in 2011 when it became too difficult to continue digging this massive hole. As a result, this area became totally abandoned.
