The most bizarre natural phenomena observed in the last century
Did you know about the Great Blue Hole of Belize?
This massive marine sinkhole, located off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea, has fascinated scientists and adventurers alike.
Although the hole itself has been around for thousands of years, it wasn’t until the last century that explorers began to unlock its secrets.
In the 1970s, famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau declared it one of the top diving spots in the world, revealing its unique stalactite formations that date back to the last Ice Age.
The geological wonder, over 300 meters across and 125 meters deep, was formed as a limestone cave during lower sea levels.
Today, it’s not only a popular diving destination but also a rare glimpse into Earth’s underground past, capturing the imaginations of those who dare to dive its azure depths.
