i’m pretty sure most people have seen this one. it’s an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world. at 525 metres deep with a top diameter of 1200 metres there’s even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.6 A) G8 f) Z1 ]6 g+ x' R

相信很多人都看過這個了.這個超大的洞擁有世上最大開放性鑽石礦的名譽.它的深度是525公尺,最上面的直徑為1200公尺. 它的上方還被設為禁航區,因為曾經有幾次有直昇機被吸入洞裡.

the mine is so huge and the area so remote that it even has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737. it also looks equally as cool when the surrounding water is frozen.

因為這個礦太大而且太偏遠,所以他有自己的機場,而且跑到大到可以放下一台波音737客機.當冷到旁邊的水都結冰的時候,整個看起來跟天氣一樣"酷"
