Deathhole 50m appeared after the flaming explosion in Russia

Reindeer and dogs run in panic when a land suddenly explodes like a volcano, leaving a giant hole 50 meters deep.

The giant hole has just appeared last week after a blast in the Russian Yamal Peninsula , witnessed by local herdsmen. The explosion caused the cattle to flee, Express reported.

The pit appeared in the middle of the river after the big explosion on the Russian Yamal Peninsula.

Huge pits appeared amid warnings of more than 700 locations in the area that could explode because of methane eruption from underground , endangering homes and industrial parks.

The sudden and deafening explosion shook the ground, firing lots of sparks on the sky in minutes. Occurring at the riverside, the explosion caused the rock to fly high, falling on both sides of the river.

Herdsmen then immediately informed the scientists.

Local herdsmen said that the explosion was like a volcano erupting.

The explosion was caused by the warming of the climate, causing the permafrost to melt and release methane gas.

Professor Vasily Bogoyavlensky, Russia's leading expert on this phenomenon, canceled his Black Sea tour and rushed to the area after the explosion.

He used fishing line to measure the depth of death pit. The result is a 50m deep pit. This is said to be the latest in a series of newly formed holes in the Arctic region of Siberia, Russia.

A witness said: "It is like a volcano erupting. Of course there is no lava, but the stone that comes out is also heated by the heat."

The rock flew up the banks of the river after the explosion.

Scientists checked the big rock after the explosion.

Experts use fishing line to measure pit depth.

Dr. Anton Sinitsky, director of the Arctic Research Center, "shocked" by the power of the explosion. He fears similar methane explosions could occur anywhere on the Yamal Peninsula.

Alexander Mazharov, deputy governor of the autonomous region of Yamalo-Nenets, said it is important to predict future explosions. Towns, villages, industrial facilities, pipelines and railroads are all at risk, he warned.

About 700 locations with "bulging" ground have been identified as having the same risk of explosion, The Siberian Times reported.

"We need to know how to act because such explosions can happen anywhere," he said.
