Great Blue Hole, Belize<br />
Forty-three miles off the coast of Belize, in the middle of Lighthouse<br />
Reef, the Great Blue Hole is one of the world’s natural wonders.<br />
Tens of thousands of years ago, when sea levels were lower, this<br />
was dry land, a landscape of karst limestone. Like other great<br />
sinkholes, this one formed when gradual erosion caused the roof<br />
of a vast cavern to collapse. A thousand feet across and more than<br />
350 deep, the Blue Hole was eventually flooded by the sea. It’s on<br />
every serious diver’s bucket list, but be warned: this one isn’t for the<br />
inexperienced.<br />
