Dead Sea Sinkholes, Israel
Growing population and tourism, as well as chemical industries, are the main reasons why several large sinkholes appeared near Ein Gedi. There are over 3,000 such cavities and likely just as many that we don’t know about all along the coast of the Dead Sea. They are known to be only multiplying, which can be a real threat to landscape and people leaving nearby. Dropping sea levels and inappropriate mismanagement of water resources are directly related to the sinkhole formation. Can you imagine some of these craters are as deep as 8-story building, which is 80 feet into the ground?
