the Great Blue Hole

The Great Blue Hole is a large, circular limestone sinkhole located off the coast of Belize. It measures about 1,000 feet across and 400 feet deep, formed over thousands of years as limestone rock eroded away by ocean water. It appears as a striking blue circle beneath the sea surface, known for its clear waters and rich marine life. The site is popular among divers who explore its steep walls, stalactites, and the diverse ecosystem within. The Blue Hole's impressive shape and history make it a significant natural wonder and a symbol of Belize’s vibrant underwater beauty.
