More giant craters spotted in Russia's far north

More giant craters spotted in Russia's far north

"We have just learnt that in Yakutia, new information has emerged about a giant crater one kilometre (0.6 miles) in diameter," the deputy director of the Oil and Gas Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vasily Bogoyavlensky, told AFP.

He said this brought to seven the number of reported pits.

"Footage allows us to identify minimum seven craters, but in fact there are plenty more," he said.
All of the craters have been discovered in the remote energy-rich Yamalo-Nenetsky region in north-western Siberia.

I think this calls for more electric cars.

Electric cars? Pffft. Hydrogen Fuel Cells will save the day, and GMO crops will feed us all and desal plants galore, for water!
