The Heavenly pit
If you are interested to visit a large hole that was formed 128,000 years ago, then you must head to Chongqing Municipality, China where most tourists fall in love and fall into the hole with parachutes.
The Heavenly Pit is named after the beautiful nature and the breathtaking views in that area. The weird thing about it is even it is hundreds of meters deep, it wasn’t discovered until 1994 by a group of British explorers.
Bingham Canyon Mine
This is the largest excavation in the world that is giving the world gold, silver, and molybdenum. Bingham Canyon Mine is located in Utah, USA, and sadly, this place experienced many issues in the recent years.
On April 10, 2013, there was a massive landslide that almost ruined the whole place. Thankfully, they got it under control reducing the risks of other landslides. This place is still attracting many tourists and explorers to witness the greatness of mother earth.
2010 Guatemala City Sinkhole
Eight years ago, a 20-meter wide pit and 90-meter deep were formed, swallowing and destroying a three-story factory.
The reasons behind the 2010 Guatemala City Sinkhole goes to the eruption of Pacaya Volcano, the Tropical Storm Agatha, and the leakage from the sewer pipe. This huge hole was not a natural mystery, but it was a disaster.
The sinkhole is located in Zona 2 in Guatemala City; that’s right, in the middle of a city! Which one of these holes do you think are more interesting?
