August 5, 2013 – SIBERIA - Having an official task to draw up a geological map of the region, a young geologist ended up running into something so unique, outstanding and mysterious that it would still puzzle scientists more than six decades later – the Patomskiy Crater. A host of theories have been put forward in the intervening years: that the crater was created by an ancient civilization, or by prisoners at a top secret Stalin labor camp, or by volcanic activity, or by a meteorite, or by an underground hydrogen explosion, or by a UFO. And even more tantalizing: by two UFOs. Stories have been handed down by native people – who knew about the ‘cursed crater’ long before Kolpakov revealed it to the outside world. Among these accounts, were warnings that this ‘Devil’s Place’ was dangerous to humans. Questions remain unanswered about a phenomenon that has been called ‘The Most Mysterious Place in Russia.’ For example, why don’t trees grow on the side of the cone-like structure? Radiation levels are low now, but there is evidence they were once very high: why? In August 1949, when Kolpakov reached the very north of Irkutsk region, local Yakut people told him a story about an ‘evil’ place, hidden in the woods. They called it the Fire Eagle Nest, and according to them even the deer didn’t dare to go close to it. Locals told a lot of legends about it, warning people would suddenly start feeling unwell or even disappear, some to be found dead later, some never to be found. As recently as 2005, indeed, the head of a mission to the crater died suddenly within several kilometers of it.

Is it too late to deny involvement?
You can’t blame this on me! I didn’t touch anything except this little button here. I know it says, Do not touch...but....
Looks something like a giant mud pot that bubbled up from below.
In agreement....however I would lean more towards some sort of glacial involvement.
If you look at the limestone shards they were broken by brute force not thermal action?
Rhyolite doming.
Panum Crater, Mono-Inyo craters is similar in form.
they got a really big groundhog problem
Yep, I’m with you on brute force. Ice could do the breaking, over time. That perfect roundness sure makes a random gas pressure venting or water pushing up the material seem rather miraculous. Just looks to me like something else had to create that channel/borehole. Maybe it’s something that had a number of stages/processes leading to this?
Yeah, but then this thing appears to be all by itself, as what ever caused it is a rare event for that area.
Gigantic doodle bug mound ... do not, I repeat do not yodel near this mound.
?man-made climate change¿
Sure rebound of the water/gas table could account for the formation.
Yes.
Would be interesting to know what process brought this dome there.
Wonder where exactly in Siberia it is.
Not only is it perfectly round, it’s level, with the proper amount of material deposited on either side to keep it that way. Pretty amazing! It had to have been pushed up from underneath. Hard to picture broken rock not just sliding down the slope as it’s pushed up. I don’t know, maybe gas could have done it, and the material, broken-up rock from ancient glacier deposits?

Not unusual for them to collect however the formation Russia is totally....lol
lol
Three years ago we Ithe intel community) received a tera byte of archives from Russia. One of the files was a film chronicling a massive natural gas mud spout due to a failed NG drilling project. The startling thing is that they used a nuke to collapse the rock and seal it off, after watching the prep and the detonation of the nuke our translator stopped talking and blinked hard a few times. He stopped the film and wrote something down then turned to us and said,”the narrator just said this is the third time they used a nuke to cap a gas well blow out.” We were stunned that the US had missed any of these nuke dets. I am not saying this is one of those but truth can be stranger than fiction.
There’s a possibility that would explain the formation! The age could be a fabrication. I’m guessing the thing might only be 40 - 50 years old.

Women and minorities disproportionately affected.
It’s northeast of lake Baikal, lake Baikal being a “failed” rift zone.
*hmm*
