According to the latest reports coming out of Switzerland, there is a massive hole in the ground known as the “doorway to the underworld” that has been allegedly triggered from climate change over the recent decades is rapidly growing in size and is causing concern. This comes following the reports of the largest earthquake in twelve years that struck Switzerland this past Monday. The following is an excerpt from Forbes:

The permafrost ground near the Yana River Basin has been warming lately, causing large scale changes in the local topography and ecology. The tadpole-shaped crater, called the Batagaika crater, is known as a “megaslump” and is related to karsting triggered through permafrost melting. Currently, the crater measures 0.6 miles long and 282 feet deep. However, the crater’s growth has increased recently prompting locals to nickname it the “doorway to the underworld” and to avoid the area. Permafrost is ground which remains at or below freezing temperatures for more than two years. This is common in the high latitudes of Siberia where average yearly temperatures prevent warming of the ground to above freezing. FULL STORY
