Huge Fresh Crack in Earth Filmed by US Geologists With Drone

18:00 GMT 30.01.2017 (Updated: 19:33 GMT 03.11.2022)

Arizona’s desert has cracked open! Is it the end of times?

Drone footage of a new earth fissure in the Tator Hills area of southern Pinal County, Arizona, was shot by researchers from the Arizona Geological Survey, who were experimenting with drone technology as a tool for mapping surface features. The 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) fissure is believed to have formed between March 2013 and December 2014 and is expected to get even longer in the coming years.
