Giant Siberian Hole Suggests End of World? Maybe Not

Giant hole in Yamal (The Siberian Times/Konstantin Nikolaev)

The Siberian Times reports a large hole 80 meter wide of unknown depth. The hole is located in the Yamal Peninsula, a name which is also known as “the end of the world”.

I am no scientist, but taking an aerial view through the Google Maps of the region, one can easily see that the region is geologically spotty. Because of this, we can assume that such geological structures are not necessarily out of the ordinary in Yamal with the except that this hole is extremely wide.
Some sources believe that the hole is a sign of the actual end of the world, meteorites, or a UFO invasion. They cite scriptures and the fact that the region is nicknamed “the end of the world”, but the truth is that scientists have already determined that the hole has been caused by an outward explosion from an underground source.
Given that the area is largely undeveloped and one of the richest sources of natural gas, FromQuarksToQuasars.com believes that when pressures are sufficient underground due to the melting of under-soil ice, underground explosions can take place much in the same way when you uncork a champagne bottle.

In the video below, you can see a recording from a helicopter flying near the hole. The hole is actually large enough to fit several helicopters, however, none have flown in for a more in depth look.

Scientists are currently investigating the hole and solidifying their hypothesis that the hole was caused by the melting of under-soil ice. If it turns out that they are correct, then we can actually attribute the situation here to Global Warming.
