The Creat Blue Hole

Hello! Today I read about a new amazing place and I want to tell you about it. This place is the Great Blue Hole!

The Great Blue Hole is a large submarine sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of  Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 70 km from the mainland and Belize City. The hole is circular in shape, over 300 m across and 124 m deep. In the center of the circle depth reaches 145 meters Dark color of circle associated with sudden changes in depth. It was formed during several episodes of quaternary glaciation when sea levels were much lower. The Great Blue Hole is a part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System.

The actual name of “The Great Blue Hole” was created by British diver and author Ned Middleton after having lived in the country for 6 months. 

I personally think that the Great Blue Hole is a very beautiful place!
