1. Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa



Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097-meter-deep mine yielded over three tons of diamonds before being closed.


2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California



This is the Glory Hole at Monticello Dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.
A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir.


3 Great Blue Hole , Belize



This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a Blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize. There are numerous blue holes around the world but none as stunning as this one.

4.Sinkhole in Guatemala



This photo is of a sinkhole that occurred February 2007 in Guatemala. It swallowed two dozen homes and killed at least three people.

And the really terrifying one!












#5. This is the famous "Rat Hole" that you have heard about.


It is capable of swallowing trillions and trillions of U.S. Dollars annually, never to be heard from again!
It is reputed to contain at least 535 ass"holes".
