This diamond mine,the world's largest hole, located near
the town Mirna in Eastern Siberia, has a diameter of
1.25 km and it's almost 525 meters deep.
The truck in the picture, one of the biggest in the world,
is just a small point in comparison to the diamond mine.
The hole is so deep that the surrounding air zone is closed,
helicopters being prohibited to get close to the amazing mine.
The restrictions came after a few accidents took place, when
helicopters were sucked in by downward air flow.
