In Russia's Sakha Republic in northeastern Siberia, the well-known Batagaika crater, also known as the 'Door to Hell,' is the largest permafrost crater globally. Scientists warn that due to climate change, it is expanding at an unexpected rate, affecting the surrounding environment. The crater, now about 80 hectares in size, was just a small hole in the 1960s, but with global warming causing permafrost to melt, its width and depth have been increasing continuously. Recent studies show the crater's depth has surpassed 90 meters, with a million cubic meters of soil thawing annually, potentially impacting nearby habitats and increasing greenhouse gas emissions as organic carbon locked in the permafrost is released into the atmosphere.
