Udachnaya pipe is a diamond deposit in the Daldyn-Alakit kimberlite field in Sakha Republic, Russia. It is an open-pit mine, and is located just outside the Arctic circle. It is more than 600 metres deep.
It’s so huge that I wonder how much time it requires for the trucks to go from the bottom to the top…
