Maybe I should have used a smiley after that, but IIRC, that was the place where they tested their 57 (some sources say 61) megaton "Tsar Bomba" in 1961. I remember back in the early 1980's, there was talk of atomic bomb tests possibly opening up old fault lines, making new ones and/or stirring up already existing but active ones. I know it was over 40 years ago, but when I heard the location, I thought of the Tsar Bomba right off the bat but I think they've tested others up there throughout the years.
