A massive sink hole has suddenly appeared in a field near the village of Neledino in Russia. The hole has been dubbed the “gate to hell” by locals.
It measures 32 metres (105 feet) across and is 50 metres (164 feet) deep – enough to swallow a 16 storey building.
A police spokesman said: “The ground collapsed in an agricultural field, which belongs to a private farmer, and is only two kilometres (1.2 miles) away from nearby homes.
