A massive hole of unknown depth has been discovered in a gas-rich but remote Russia peninsula, known by the local indigenous population as the ‘End of the World’.The 80m-wide abyss was spotted by an oil exploration helicopter, and a team of scientists will visit the site today, reports The Siberian Times.No one is sure yet what created the puncture, which is believed to be up to two years old, but the Russian Emergencies Ministry has ruled out a meteorite strike.
