The Mir Diamond Mine is one of the incredible treasures located in the city of Mirny, Eastern Siberia, Russia. Diamonds were spilling out of this hole from 1957 to 2001 and finally closed down in 2011. One of the World’s largest man-made holes, this massive treasure chest is referred to as the “Navel of the Earth”. What is most mind-blowing about this place referred to as an “open-pit”, is how a place that looks deserted and ugly to the naked eye could produce a number of diamonds that would make any miner rich beyond their wildest dreams.
