EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the haunting beauty of Caterpillar Crater, also known as Hill 60, in the Ypres Salient region of Belgium. Dated 2016, this photograph showcases the crater's tranquil waters at the very bottom, reflecting the sky above. The crater, a result of intense trench warfare during the First World War, was named after the British 1st Canadian Division's "Caterpillar" tanks that played a crucial role in the Battle of Hill 60 in 1916. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and was a global conflict that involved many of the world's major powers. The Ypres Salient, a bulge in the Western Front, was a particularly brutal and bloody battleground. Hill 60, located near the town of Ieper (Ypres) in Belgium, was a strategic position that changed hands numerous times throughout the war. The image of Caterpillar Crater serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on the natural world. The crater, which measures approximately 300 meters in length and 150 meters in width, was created by the detonation of over 40,000 kilograms of explosives. Today, it stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the trenches during the First World War. The peaceful waters of Caterpillar Crater offer a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction that once defined this landscape. The crater's reflection of the sky above creates a surreal and almost otherworldly scene, inviting contemplation and reflection on the past and the enduring power of nature to heal and transform.
