JAKARTA: A massive cavity spanning more than 30,000 square metres, roughly equivalent to four to five football fields and reaching a depth of up to 100m in Central Aceh, is the result of landslides rather than a sinkhole, Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) said.
Head of BRIN’s Geological Disaster Research Centre Adrin Tohari said the expanding hole in Kampung Pondok Balik has drawn public concern due to its increasing size and depth with some residents and media reports likening it to sinkholes seen elsewhere.
