The Great Blue Hole

Belize December 22nd, 2009


One of the many spectacular landscape seascape in the world and definitely one of the places i hope to visit.

The Great Blue Hole is located near the center of Lighthouse Reed off the coast of Belize. It’s a large underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize.

What makes it so amazing is it’s unique shape - assuming the shape of a circular hole, well over 300 metres (984 ft) across and 125 metres (410 ft) deep.
The location was originally formed as a limestone cave system during the last glacial period when sea levels were much lower, the caves flooded and the roof collapsed as the ocean began to rise. Thus the Great Blue Hole is created.

The Great Blue Hole is a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
