„Fântâna Iadului” a fost pentru prima dată explorată de oameni. Localnicii din Yemen consideră gaura din deșert o amenințare pentru Pământ – FOTO, VIDEO

A handout picture taken by the Oman Cave Exploration Team on September 15, 2021, shows one of the team's cavers abseiling down the Barhout well, a sinkhole known as the "Well of Hell" in the desert of Yemen's Al-Mahra province. A team of Omani cavers has made what is believed to be the first descent to the bottom of the forbidding sinkhole, whose dark, round aperture creates a 30m. (100 feet) wide hole, plunging approximately 112m. (367 feet) below the surface, forming a natural wonder shunned by many locals, who believe it is a prison for genies.,Image: 633506945, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT "AFP PHOTO / HO / OMAN CAVE EXPLORATION TEAM (OCET)" - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==, *** HANDOUT image or SOCIAL MEDIA IMAGE or FILMSTILL for EDITORIAL USE ONLY! * Please note: Fees charged by Profimedia are for the Profimedia's services only, and do not, nor are they intended to, convey to the user any ownership of Copyright or License in the material.
