How deep is it? If it’s really deep, I’d drill it and try to hit magma and the core. Lot’s of energy potential. Or build a building there, one heck of a basement party room.

The Siberian peninsulas have lots of volcanoes. So drilling for magma might not be such a good idea...................

How many of the scientists heading for this site are global warming alarmists? If most are, you know what their biased findings will show.

So... Any updates on this?

It is pretty interesting to have a football-field sized hole suddenly appear where there shouldnt be one...

I am going to venture a guess- a massive sinkhole that collapsed so quickly it ejected a bunch of debris around the rim when it landed.

Or a pit to hell opened up.

It has to be one or the other.

There arev no other options. This is ‘settled science’.

LOL! You're right...

“Anna Kurchatova from the Sub-Arctic Scientific Research Centre, thinks the crater was formed by a mixture of water, salt and gas igniting an underground explosion, a result of global warming.”

The hole isn’t new, but is suspected to be two years old. And the Yamal peninsula is pockmarked with holes or depressions.

I seen some TV shows that indicate this was a comet in 1908 high above ground out in a very remote place in Siberia. They think it is a comet because there is no crater. The Tsar was going to send an expedition to do research in the area. But as fate would have it the Revolution changed all of his plans.
