Kimberley is the capital city of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. It’s known for its 19th-century diamond mines, like the deep, hand-dug Big Hole. Nearby, the Kimberley Mine Museum is a re-creation of the town in its heyday and displays jewellery and uncut diamonds.
It not only has a history immersed in diamonds, but the Big Hole, a huge circular pit right in the middle of town, is a huge crater dug almost entirely with picks and shovels to reach the stones.
Kimberley's Big Hole, measuring over a kilometre deep with a surface area of 17 hectares, although it isn't the biggest hand-dug hole; the Jagersfontein Mine takes the credit for that, formed part of the diamond rush of the 1870s, where men, with little more than man-made tools, managed to remove three tonnes of diamonds and 22.5 million tonnes of earth in the process.
Today the hole is not as deep. Not only was it used as a receptacle in which to throw debris after it was abandoned, but groundwater seeps into the hole, leaving only 175 metres of the 215-metre depth visible.
