The cause of the hole's sudden appearance in Yamal - which translates as 'the end of the world' - in the far north of Siberia is not yet known. There has been web speculation about the crater indicating 'the arrival of a UFO craft'.

LOL
Anna Kurchatova from the Sub-Arctic Scientific Research Centre, thinks the crater was formed by a mixture of water, salt and gas igniting an underground explosion, a result of global warming. Gas accumulated in ice could have mixed with sand beneath the surface, and then mixed with salt.
The crater was found in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, some 40 kilometres from the Bovanenkovo gas field. The peninsula, which sticks into Arctic waters, is the source of Russia’s vast gas export market to Europe.

I believe we should consider sending an expedition into this hole if it is deemed safe enough. This hole could possibly provide us with an entrance to the "hollow".
A scientific team has been sent to investigate the hole and is due to arrive at the scene on Wednesday (tomorrow Australian time),’ The Siberian Times reports.
The expedition includes experts from Russia’s Centre for the Study of the Arctic, and the Cryosphere Institute of the Academy of Sciences.
They will sample the soil, water and air at the scene in order to determine the nature of the blow hole.
Ah I see

Thank you for letting me know Mel.
This thread however, gives the hypothesis of the hole being Bigfoots lair however, and therefore has a different angle.
I think with Bigfoots hideout coupled with the beginning of the middle part of the last part of the end and all, this qualifies for a fresh new thread, with fresh eyes on this breaking related info.

Another sinkhole.
