Looking at photos like these scares and fascinates me in equal doses. the sheer scale of these holes reminds us of just how tiny we are.
Diavik Mine, Canada - This incredible mine can be found 300km northeast of Yellowknife in Canada ..
The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737. It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.
Mirny Diamond Mine , Siberia - It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.
