While flying over the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, north of Russia and northwest of Siberia, a group of Russian pilots has discovered a huge and deep grave of unknown origin. Scientists, who are traveling to the area to find out the reasons for the appearance of this huge hole , believe that it was caused by periglacial processes, a possible meteorite or perhaps the release of a gas .
The gigantic hole could be about 80 meters in diameter ; its depth is unknown at the moment. This and other data await to be revealed by the team of researchers who are heading to the area to take samples and solve the mystery.
The hole or crater was observed about 30 kilometers from the town of Bovanenkovo , on the Yamal Peninsula, which in the native language means 'end of the world', hence the theories about its strange appearance have not stopped spreading over the internet . We will soon know what it is about.
