Destinations / The most amazing holes in the world / The Mirny Diamond Mine, Russia

  

  It is the largest diamond mine in the world. This mine is 525 m deep and a diameter of 1200 m. It is the first career in Russia, and one of the largest. It is now abandoned, and when was still operational, it took about 2 hours for trucks to get down to the exit of the mine. Absorption of air circulating inside led to collapse of various helicopters, therefore it is prohibited any flight above it now.
