This looks like a Photoshop effect, or a still image from a disaster movie, but it's very real. It's the Mir diamond mine in Siberia, and it was scraped, dug, and exploited for half a century, providing millions of diamonds.
After starting work in 1957, the supply of diamonds dried up in 2001. Another ten years past before the operators finally gave up on it, and the gaping hole and the buildings around it have been abandoned for almost all of the past decade.
