Second mysterious black hole discovered in Siberia

A second mysterious black hole has been found in Siberia one week after a similar deep crater was found in the region.

Locals discovered the second hole, which is smaller than the first, 88km from the village of Antipayuta.

Local Mikhail Lapsu told NBC that: "Inside the crater itself, snow can be seen."

Scientists who visited the original hole put the phenomenon down to global warming.

"It causes an 'alarming' melt in the under soil ice, releasing gas and causing an effect like the popping of a Champagne bottle cork," Anna Kurchatova from the Sub-Arctic Scientific Research Centre told the Siberian Times.
