Blooming valleys, sandy plains, alternating with snow-capped mountain peaks, depressions and canyons - for several million years nature has created an ideal landscape that does not need any additions.
However, as production and agriculture developed under the influence of human activity, the landscape began to undergo significant changes. The invasion of nature's possessions turned into the desiccation of reservoirs, an increase in the area of deserts and the formation of giant holes in the ground, going to a depth of many meters. We decided to recall the deepest man-made holes in the world, formed as a result of open-pit mining.
