A dip deep with a six-story house and a length of 2 football fields was formed on one of New Zealand's farms. Experts believe that the abyss formed under the surface of the earth for about a hundred years, reports The Independent. The farm, on whose territory the abyss has broken, is located near the city of Rotorua on the North Island. In this area, karst dips have been found before, scientists note, but far from this size. Vulcanologist Brad Scott says that the new crack is three times larger than the largest failures that he met before. He added that at the bottom of the abyss you can see sediments of volcanic rocks, whose age is 60 thousand. years.

The farm worker discovered a monstrous crack when he collected cows for the morning milking - it was still dark, and he realized how huge the abyss he had found, only after sunrise. Colin Tremayn, the manager of the farm, said that in the vicinity they often find similar karst dips. "We fenced the crack so that the cattle accidentally did not fall into it, although the cows are not so stupid - they are not going to fall into the abyss. Feel the danger, "- said the farm worker.
