Seven Amazing Holes of the World !

[Highlander]

1. Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa



Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world,
this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds
before being closed in 1914.
 
2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California



A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir

3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah



This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is ¾ miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.
 
4. Great Blue Hole , Belize



This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize ..
There are numerous blue holes around the world,  


but none as stunning as this one.


5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia



I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. 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.
 
6. Diavik Mine , 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.
 
7. Sinkhole in Guatemala



These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred early this year in Guatemala .. The hole swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least 3 people.
 

Oh, and then theres this one






This is the famous A*** HOLE found at 10 Downing Street , London , England .
You have probably read about this hole.
It is capable of throwing out tons of MANURE daily and, in just over 12 months, has succeeded in sucking this country into the biggest financial hole it has experienced in decades.
