Nuclear Landscapes: Subsidence Crater
Caption:
Since 1963, in accordance with the Limited Test Ban Treaty, all nuclear tests have been conducted underground. This crater resulted from the collapse of earth into the cavity created by an underground nuclear detonation. The test shafts are usually drilled about 1,500 feet deep.
