The world’s biggest hole

The world’s biggest hole is located in Russia.

The giant hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna. It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter. View all the photos here.

Some guys said that this is not the bigger hole and report the Utah’s Kennecott copper mine and the US President as bigger ones!

From my point of view the Russian hole it looks more like hole, while the Utah’s looks more like canyon and US President more like an asshole!

  9. Yes, the president clearly has a bigger asshole then any man made hole on this planet.

    His mouth is like a crator full of bullshit, no diamond coming from that hole, just a load of shit.

    I wonder if that hole in Mirna was a find, or was it actually dug out manually?

    Any comments welcome, Kajoonghamroonda from Basoonga. This is my actual name, my mothet has an even longer that I cant remember half the time.

    You have one mistake – not Mirna, but Mirny! I was born there) So… I can explain smth…it is like a big mine or pit. “Mir” ( real name of a “hole”) was opened in 1955 and operated almost 50 years and was closed in 2001. It is a biggest open mine in Russian were diamonds was mined.
