MOSCOW (KABC) -- A massive mystery crater discovered in far northern Siberia appears to be made out of mostly ice and could be a result of changing temperatures in the region.

Russian scientists traveled this week to the 66-yard wide crater in the far northern Yamal peninsula.

They believe the 260-feet hole is likely created by a build-up of pressure underground caused by rising temperatures.

If you look closely, some of the Earth is still moving!
