Newly released drone footage confirms that the Batagay crater in Siberia continues to grow in size.
A massive crater in Siberia dubbed the"gateway to the underworld" by locals is continuing to grow larger, new drone footage reveals.
The footage, which was released on July 12, offers viewers a bird's-eye view of the Batagay crater, considered to be the largest permafrost depression in the world, according to Ruptly.tv. Covering approximately 0.3 square miles — equivalent to the area of about 145 football fields — the deep scar cutting through the east Siberian woodlands was likely triggered by deforestation during the 1940s. This led to erosion, which then exacerbated seasonal melting of the permafrost and created a"megaslump," or the massive crater in the ground.
In one study, the melt allowed scientists to access bison meat that had been frozen for roughly 8,000 years, giving researchers new insight into animals and plants that once inhabited the region. Scientists aren't sure exactly how quickly the crater is expanding. However, locals claim that in the last several years, it has grown between 66 feet and 98 feet at certain points, according to NDTV, a TV station in New Delhi. —'Zombie' viruses have been revived from Siberian permafrost.
