A member of an expedition group stands on the edge of a newly formed crater on the Yamal Peninsula, northern Siberia November 9, 2014. A group of scientists and discoverers in November went on an expedition initiated by the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration to research the crater after pilots captured it on video in July 2014 which attracted the attention of world public. Participants managed to descend down to about 16 metres (52.4 feet) and reached the frozen surface of the base of the crater with a lake at least 10 metres (32.8 feet) deep below, according to Vladimir Pushkarev, head of the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration. Experts, including geologists and historians, have not come to a consensus about the origin of the funnel yet, Russian media report. Picture taken November 9.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a member of an expedition group stands on the edge of a newly formed crater on the Yamal Peninsula in northern Siberia. The image was captured on November 9,2014, during an expedition initiated by the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration. This remarkable crater had gained global attention after pilots captured it on video in July 2014. The daring participants managed to descend approximately 16 meters (52.4 feet) into the depths of this mysterious phenomenon. They reached the frozen surface at its base, discovering a lake that was at least 10 meters (32.8 feet) deep below. Vladimir Pushkarev, head of the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration, shared these astonishing findings. Despite extensive research and analysis by experts including geologists and historians, there is still no consensus about how this colossal funnel-shaped crater came into existence. Its origin remains shrouded in mystery as scientists continue their quest for answers. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to unravel nature's enigmas. It symbolizes our relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding even in some of Earth's most remote and inhospitable regions. Captured by Vladimir Pushkarev from Reuters Images, this thought-provoking image invites us to contemplate both the beauty and intrigue found within our planet's natural wonders.
