Located in Mirny, Eastern Siberia, this kimberlite diamond pipe (also called Mirny Mine) is a true wonder. With an open-cut pit 525 meters deep and 1,200 meters in diameter, it’s the second largest excavated hole globally.
But there’s the kicker: mining operations extend underground to depths exceeding 1 kilometer!
Watch the video and witness the ongoing legacy of the Mir Diamond Mine!
