The Biggest Hole in the World

The world’s biggest hole is located in Russia. The gaint hole is
actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna. It is
525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter.

There is a suction created above the hole that has caused helicopter crashes so now all flights above the hole are prohibited.
