Meteorite? Underground explosion? A giant hole has opened in Siberia and nobody knows why. The huge crater, with a width of between 80 and 100 meters, was recently spotted in the Yamal Peninsula, Russia, commonly known as the "end of the world". Its depth remains unknown.
To give the news is the Siberian Times. Given the proximity of the crater to a natural gas field, the most accredited theory has it that at its origin there is an explosion, caused by a mixture of gas, water and salt. The fault could be global warming melting permafrost.
So far, local officials they ruled out the impact of a meteorite. Something more will only be known when a team of scientists, sent to study the Siberian forum and take samples from the surrounding region, will have the results of the analyzes in hand.
Meanwhile, a video on Youtube shows the mysterious hole surrounded by vegetation in a seemingly remote area. The surrounding land appears to have been displaced.
The replies from the shipping experts will arrive next Wednesday. Until then, the mystery continues.
