New giant crater appears in Russia
2014 seems not to be the best year for land in Russia. After three giant craters that appeared in the region of Siberia, appeared another in Perm region.However, unlike the other craters, whose origin is still unknown, this giant hole is the result of the collapse of a potash mine, which opened a massive crater in the middle of an abandoned mining town.Although the village is uninhabited, the same mine is also located in another village, a few miles away, which is inhabited. Experts and officials now fear that the mine may collapse also in the locality inhabited, writes the Inhabitat.Uralkali, a company that produces potash fertilizer and responsible for extraction at the mine, announced recently that the works were abandoned in Solikamsk-2 mine, after the site has been flooded by salt water. Shortly after, appeared the giant crater.
