Earth’s Gateway to Hell is Getting Bigger

Siberia’s Batagaika Crater is about 215 acres in area, and local residents refer to it as the ‘Gateway to Hell.’ It’s a retrogressive thaw slump so large it’s considered a ‘megaslump,’ and its size is increasing by the day.

    Uh… Is it just me or does anyone else feel like it’s an odd looking shape

      It’s either a ‘tadpole’ shape, or the universe is subjecting us all to a very cruel Rorschach test.

    Slump? Same thing as a sink hole? What is a slump and how is it different than a sink hole?

    • @popularscience

      That’s a pretty good question — in the most basic terms, a sinkhole is when there’s a cavity in the ground from material having been removed (for any number of reasons), while a slump is when rock under the surface slides down a slope. Sinkholes are usually from chemical dissolution of some kind, while slumps are mass wasting/mass movement (gravity taking action as opposed to chemical changes).

    why did these channels always make such weird comparisons. not many people know how big Vatican City is and it’s not very big so why even use that as an example if you’re trying to say it’s enormous
