Q. Batagay Crater, recently seen in news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Russia
Notes: New aerial footage of Batagay Crater reveals its yearly growth as permafrost thaws. Also called the "Gateway to Underworld" or "Doorway to Hell," it's the largest permafrost crater globally, located in Siberia, Russia. The crater, formed due to thawing permafrost, has expanded significantly since the 1960s, accelerated by deforestation and climate change. From 1991 to 2018, its area tripled, indicating the alarming pace of environmental change in the region.
