The best is saved for last!

These holes are not only amazing, but some are really

terrifying!

The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how

tiny we are.

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097

2- Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be

drained from the reservoir.

It is the largest spillway of this type in the world and consumes 14,400

cubic feet of water every second.

3- Great Blue Hole, Belize

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated

60 miles off the mainland of Belize.

There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as

this one.
