Big Hole
by Yasufumi Taniguchi
South Africa is famous for gold and diamonds. There is so much gold and diamonds. Kimberley is one of the places famous for diamonds. When a diamond mine was found in 1867, Kimberley was born.
There is an amazing big hole. The depth of this hole is 1,097m. By the time the mine closed, around 3 tons of diamonds were dug out. It is called “Big Hole.”
It was made by humans. I mean when the hole was made, machines were not used at all. Human desire made it.
