The world's biggest hole is located in Russia.
The gaint hole is actually a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia near the town Mirna. It is 525 meters deep and 1.25 km in the diameter.
The following truck loader is one of the biggest in the world - lenth 13.36 meters, width 7.78 meters and height 6.65 meters.
This gaint machine appears just a small point in the next image…
The suction above the hole resulted in several helicopter crashes, so all flight above the hole is prohibited now.

Now that’s a hole!
Giant Hole in Russia…
All I can say is WHOA! This thing is friggin’ huge! <link>……
Dude, your hole is TINY. Check out http://www.kennecott.com/about_facts.html for the specs on the Bingham Copper Mine in Utah, United States. It’s over 3/4 miles deep, or as deep as this mine is wide. Also, the trucks are bigger (only slightly), at over 23 feet tall instead of 21 feet tall (it doesn’t list the other dimensions). At breadth, it is 2.5 miles instead of .75 miles. Yay Kennecott! It is not just a hole, but literally they have mined a mountain away.

No, it’s not. Try here:

2.5 miles in diameter, 1/2 mile deep.
I’ve done my University project about Diamonds and i read this before.
Take a look on the National Geographic presentation for more detail. It said a truck would take TWO Hours to surface from the bottom!!

The biggest hole in the world - Amazing photos…
The biggest hold in the world is located in russia.. it is actually a diamond mine.. see the amazing photos to believe it…..
Russia is the best and the bigest country in the all universe. If any american shit didnt study it in school he must do it now……
can we see it on google maps ?
Браћа Руси знају шта раде, према томе могу сви остали да га попуше и да провоцирају пошто само то и знају да раде !!!!
Поздрав за све Русе и Србе наравно !!!
Photos - large holes in the ground…
I came across this mine in Russia, which is big:
Then I ran into this one, which is apparently bigger.

Funny coincidence that the biggest ASShole in the world is also in America. Check out http://www.thehumorarchives.com/humor/0001018.html

You americans this is the HOLE made by man…..and it is the biggest hol in the world (go russia
) ….yours is just big open-pit mining …so HA HA
Это специальная дырка, которую роют русские ученые, и в которую нахуй провалится вся гребаная Америка с ее вонючими гамбургерами, Бушем и прочей дребеденью.
А пока, из за этой дырки происходит смещение центра тяжести земли, и сильные флуктуации магнитного поля вызывают невиданные досели цунами и ураганы, которые обрушиваются на толстые задницы америкосов.
Так что спите спокойно, глупые поедатели гамбургеров, и ждите, когда вся ваша дерьмократия провалится в нашу супер дырку !!!
Россия - ВПЕРЕД !!!!
Biggest (man-made) hole in the world!…
I couldn’t resist…I added the “man-made” part.
Incredible pics.

That is indeed a mighty hole!
Another favourite hole of mine is Patamon’s Goofyblog!
It’s awesome!
You should all check it out!
all those copper mines are just lame quarries — they are NOT holes… with a side slope of way less than 45 °, does not count as a hole!

Dear theduz and ccutrer, may be Utah’s hole is deeper, may be your hole is bigger, but in any case we have wonderful view in Siberia.
And I can think that here we can compare like old slut with her deep and wide hole and young Siberian girl :-)))

Well, the russians may be very proud of this hole. What did they do with all the dirt? The russians may well lay claim to having dug the deepest hole on earth, on the Kola Penninsula, over 12 km deep.
But the record for the biggest hole remains with the americans–the Kennecott copper mine in Utah. I have seen it, and it is only a little bigger than this hole. The russians could eventually pass it up.
Русское отверстие более красивейше.
That’s a big freakin hole! We call That a “76A” hole up here ..
i must agree, its a god damn huge hole!
I find it a little puzzling though that the Russians and Americans are pathetic enough to argue over who has the “biggest hole” haha!
In england we are SO OVER holes, theyre like…so, 50 years ago, we’re turning ours into the worlds biggest grennhouses and gardens, take a page from our book;

Kennecott Copper Mine (Salt Lake County, Utah, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)
“is currently the largest open-pit mine in the world, and the world’s largest man-made excavation. The mine is 2 ½-miles across, and ¾-mile deep.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennecott_Copper_Mine
The Kennecott is not a hole, they wiped a mountain away with dynamite.. Where s the big effort in lighting dynamite…
On the pictures of the russian hole you can tell it is a hole, they started digging from ground zero..
“Kennecott Copper Mine (Salt Lake County, Utah, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) is currently the largest open-pit mine in the world, and the world’s largest man-made excavation. The mine is 2 ½-miles across, and ¾-mile deep. ”
…. IT IS NOT A HOLE it is “currently the largest open-pit mine in the world”
If this diamond mine is a hole then Kennecott Copper Mine is a hole. I would not be the least bit surprised to learn explosives were used in digging the diamond mine, either. It isn’t like Kennecott Copper dug their hole all at once, with a single blast. They have been working on it for one hundred years. (Digging began in 1906). How long have the russians been digging their hole?
Facts are facts. The russians have the largest country in the world–even after big chunks broke off. They have the deepest hole. They have more beautiful spacecraft than the americans have. Greater natural resources. This is probably the biggest open pit diamond mine in the world. But if this is a hole, it is not yet as big as the Bingham Canyon Mine, and unless they are willing to destroy the surrounding city (as Kennecott did to the town of Bingham), it may never grow that big.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingham_Canyon
The Merny Hole could fit inside the american’s hole with plenty of room to spare. Maybe they have not been working on it as long–they apparently only started in earnest in 1955. Their mine is now abandoned, whereas the Kennecott people will keep working their pit at least another seven years.
What I think is that this pit is a remarkable achievement, considering it is nearly as big a the american pit, but less than half as old, and it was dug way up north, just below the arctic circle. No way the americans could have ever dug such a big hole so far north in such little time.
Great Story
Google maps link:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&q=mirna,+russia&near=&ie=UTF8&ll=62.539838,113.998861&spn=0.11098,0.294228&t=h&om=1
the big difference in the two holes/pits is that diamonds are mined in a cone to reach the diamond in the deep pressures of the earth and copper is across a vast area. Also the elevation of the two hole could be vastly different. Meaning the Kennecott hole/pit could be at 13,000ft. and the Mirna hole at 17ft. making one of the two the deepest hole/pit. But the article does say “BIGGEST HOLE” I would have to reluctantly go with the Kennecott hole/pit, because the true definition of a hole is “A hollowed place in something solid; a cavity or pit.”
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hole
As it goes for opinion I find the Mirna hole much more impressive to look at, but that is just my opinion.
That somehow pathetic… russians and americans fighting about who’s got the biggest hole! lol
By the way, neither the diamond mine in Russia, nor the Copper Mine in Utah is the biggest hole, but the world famous CHUQUICAMATA Mine in Chile, you ignorant asswipes!
By The way, you should define your meassures more accurate. Do you mean deep or by Volume? If its the first case, again a rusian hole is a deepest in the world (14k), if its about volume, its the Chilean copper mine Chuqui.
the mine in kennecott looks to me like a valley, not a pit nor a hole. i have to say i think Mirna takes this one.
“No way the americans could have ever dug such a big hole so far north in such little time.” –pasha582
Because the Russians have better Japanese digging equipment than the Americans, right?
And aren’t they both “open pit” mines, scraping away layers of earth to get at the precious material? I don’t see what all the fuss about with the competition… it’s just pathetic.
I might’ve found a bigger, similar hole.
Look on GoogleEarth or similar, right near:
N 66 26 42
E 112 19 48
The hole appears to be about 1.75 KM by 1.2 KM wide (slightly oval in shape), with an unknown depth.
everyone knows that you are all wrong… the worlds biggest hole is http://goatse.ragingfist.net/hello.jpg
Just look at this thing. It is clearly a hole. These other mines, yes, bigger ones, are basically just a few perimeter layers away from being strip mining operations. THEY ARE NOT HOLES!!
Man-made canyons, yes. The key distinction with the Mirna hole is that the geometrical properties of it are clearly unique from the other mining anomalies out there. With the others, one can easily see where the alleged hole bottoms out. With this one in question, it is a tightly formed circular cone penetrating into the depths of the earth.
Think about it. Perhaps review your wife/girlfriend/favorite local hooker or pornographic magazine for a refresher course on anatomy, then answer me this; Which geographical structure reminds you more of what different portion of the female anotomy, and out of the potential list of choices, which ones can you more freely refer to as “holes”. (I am presenting this question as a point of rhetoric, however, if you persist on the idiot’s way out, i.e. turning a blind eye to the obvious, embracing ignorance, etc., then go explore the topological significance of this comparison.)
As an Amaerican that has been to both mines, They are both impressive in their own rights. I have to give it to the Russians, I have seen many huge mines around the world. But Mirna Takes it!! It does say a lot about the Russians that live in that region, My hat is off to you!!
Those are incredible photos! Thanks.
I also have some mine photos, but the mine is not quite as big as this one. Mine is of a gold mine called Martha Mine in New Zealand.
Having Been to both mines,, I find the Mirny mine more impressive,, Maybe because the terain is so flat and the mine is so close to town. Also the waste ore is not seen as much. I am an American , and I was in Mirny when they celabrated the “completion of thier task”. Anywhere else there would only have been sorry for closing down the mine. My hats off to my Russian freinds in Mirny, they have great hearts and are proud people.
That’s not a hole … This is a hole
The ultimate open pit mine is expected to be about 1200 metres deep with the dimensions of the pit at the surface being about 3.5 by 4.5 kilometres. The initial “Starter Pit” will be about 450 metres deep and have a diameter at the surface of about 1.7 kilometres. The Starter Pit is larger than final size of most existing open pit mines in Australia.
