The Earth's 'gate to the underground' is here
Batagaika Hole in Siberia is called "Gate to Underworld". Local people are very afraid when they have to go near that big hole.
The vast Batagaika hole that first appeared 25 years ago in the cold Siberia can "reveal" the mysteries of our planet's past and reveal the future.
Batagaika pit is also known as Batagaika Megaslump hole 1km long and 90m deep. Major flood in 2008 made 20m deep each year.
Batagaika wall.
When the pit formed a low-lying area and continued to sink further, it was a clear sign that the warming temperature melted the frozen soil so the above and below layers of soil were not connected.
Scientists believe that this sign is very important to study change around, inside the pit and climate change.
Many researchers consider Batagaika pit to be a sign that the rate of temperature rises in the world . Small holes appear like crossing the northern hemisphere.
The melting ice soil shows that humanity's biggest fear is a pit containing large amounts of methane - a greenhouse gas that is more harmful than carbon dioxide.
The hole formed in the 1960s, when a forest was lost, the land fell.
If the soil freezes, it will start a long process after the climate increases by 4 degrees Celsius, our planet will enter a state of very worrying and difficult to describe.
Scientists are trying to freeze soil layers at the same time as melting and collecting samples of plants and soil.
The collected samples will be compared with tree and soil data in Greenland, China and Antarctica. Data on ancient soil and trees will re-create the history of the Earth.
Geology professor Julian Murton of Sussex University (UK) has just visited the hole Batagaika to study the pit wall, taking a new source of geological information about the history 200,000 years ago.
Photos taken from above show that there is not much remaining soil in the hole.
He noticed that the hole Batagaika could tell about what happened in the past and in the future . The warm climate makes the soil more melted and the limestone heat effect. The lower the soil is, the deeper it forms, the more eroded the ground becomes.
Professor Julian Murton saw evidence of heat in recent decades in the northern hemisphere about the scope of expansion and intensity.
However, before the Siberian ice melts seriously, the temperature sometimes drops to -68 degrees Celsius.
Batagaika is considered the coldest place on the planet, on par with Oymyakon, also in Siberia.
Unfortunately, Professor Julian Murton said: He has not seen any secret tunnel leading into the underworld, only to see the rock in the hole called "The gate to the underworld".
