These
holes
are
not
only
amazing,
but
so
me
of
them
are
really
terrifying
-
especially
#8!
The
sheer
scale
of
these
holes
reminds
you
of
just
how
tiny
you
are.
1. Kimberley Big 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 - Monticello Dam, 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
Monticello
dam,
and
it's
the
largest
in
the
world
of
This
type
of
spillway,
its
size
enabling
it
to
consu
me
14,400
cubic
feet
of
water
every
second.
3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah
This
is
supposedly
the
largest
man-made
excavation
on
earth.
Extraction
began
in
1863
and
still
continues
today,
the
pit
increasing
In
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
This
one
is
an
absolute
beast
and
holds
the
title
of
largest
open
Diamond
mine
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 the most terrifying one of all
This is the famous 'Rat Hole' that you have heard about.
It is capable of swallowing trillions and trillions of U.S.
Dollars... Annually! Never to be heard from again.
Didn't see that coming, did You?
