The first crater discovered this summer in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, north of Russia and northwest Siberia and known as “the hole at the end of the world” is, according to a team of scientists from the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics from the Trofimuk Academy of Sciences, a “close relative” of the Bermuda Triangle.
Scientists have carried out a wide variety of geophysical studies using magnetic, radiometric and imaging techniques that have made it possible to obtain new data and, in general, more information about this mysterious event that was accidentally discovered by a group of Russian pilots. while flying over this region.
The causes of the origin of this mysterious crater are, according to the deputy director of the Institute, Igor Eltcova, the location of the hole, since it is located at the intersection of tectonic faults and, on the other hand, the fact that this summer has been especially warm. The heat causes the emanation of gas hydrates, whose emissions, known as pneumatic bursts, eventually led to the formation of this intriguing crater .
“ This theory is the same one that explains the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. The process is that when gas hydrates are actively decomposed, methane ice turns into gas. This process happens in the form of an avalanche, like a nuclear reaction, and thus large amounts of methane begin to emanate ”, explains Eltcova.
Due to these emanations, the oceans can boil and ships can sink, just as an airplane can crash through an atmosphere supersaturated with methane . According to the expert, this crater is not so exclusive or singular, but they tend to occur in sparsely populated areas and tend to go unnoticed.
