The area around Narcisse is so attractive to snakes for the same reasons many farmers abandoned it decades ago: Its thin topsoil sits on top of limestone that water has gradually eroded underground, creating a network of small caves that can be entered through sinkholes.

As at other sites in the region, these ponds were built on top of karst, porous limestone prone to cracks and sinkholes that can let poisonous ash seep into groundwater and threaten drinking water — in this case, possibly affecting more than a million people.

So until we figure out how to design pipes that never break and adapt to shifting soil, or start laying all of our sewage and water pipes above ground, sinkholes will continue to be another one of the joys of living in a crowded urban center.[YouTube]

These pits are more akin to sinkholes or caves on Earth, with surface access but also with large underground hollow caverns and spaces that might provide easier access to minerals and water ice — and which might even serve as ready-made shelter for future lunar explorers.

The company hasn't shared specifics, and did not respond to a request by press time, but many sinkholes route traffic by altering the Domain Name System registry—basically the internet's phone book lookup—so the domain you want to sinkhole redirects to your own server instead.

I went into the episode we did on sinkholes with a lot of uncertainty as to how that would be interesting or why that would be dynamic, and that was the episode that probably surprised me the most, just in terms of how emotional it was.

But it also took 100 years for scientists to determine what, exactly, Einstein's theory predicts: not only that gravitational waves exist, but how they look after crossing the cosmos from a coalescing pair of black holes — inescapably steep sinkholes in space-time whose existence Einstein found even harder to swallow.

In Jidda, a port city on the Red Sea where potholes and sinkholes are so large that they are the subject of national jokes, a group of girlfriends in their 20s, who travel abroad and consider themselves politically liberal, said it would be a physical chore to navigate the poor roads each day.

That clearly suggests a preservation bias in the fossil record—and, since animals that get buried in hot springs, marshes, crevasses and sinkholes are much more likely to be preserved for posterity than those that die in the open air, the data confirm the inference drawn from the well-preserved specimens, that male mammoths walked alone, and suffered as a result.

CMU Robotics Institute Professor Red Whittaker put forward a potential mission design that would aim to use intelligent, agile and fast robots to study these pits close up, since they've been spotted by lunar orbital observers but these images don't really provide the kind of detail needed to actually discover if the sinkholes will be useful to future Moon missions, or how.

Generally speaking, sinkholes are most prevalent where the bedrock is made up of rock like limestone, dolomite, and gypsum that dissolve over time from water — particularly acidic water, or most rainwater in the US. This type of soil structure is referred to as "karst" and can be thought of as a block of Swiss cheese — with holes beneath the earth's surface formed by groundwater eroding the rock.

The most pacific grasses and meadows of her inner being were subject to sudden sinkholes full of bone and bilious tissue, spilling over with the multifarious faces, the intimate crimes and errors of her life, all pulling her in the opposite direction as she walked forward, saying hi to people and their dogs, mostly middle-aged except for one bent but fast-moving old lady with an alert husky.
