The Great Blue Hole is a large underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the mainland of Belize City. The Great Blue Hole is a vast expanse of interconnected underwater caverns adorned with remarkable formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, dripstone sheets, and columns. Scientists speculate that these awe-inspiring structures originated within the caverns long before the area became submerged.
