点评:Upon first arriving, you're greeted with a pleasant view of the surrounding landscape - flat farmland, green trees and if you're lucky, a clear blue sky - a stark contrast to how it looked nearly 110 years ago during WWI
As you get to the rim and look inside this giant scar, it quickly hits you just how powerful this underground mine explosion was. At 91m across and 21m deep, this preserved and well cared for crater was surreal to walk around as situated on the rim, the walkboards contain the names of soldiers who died fighting in the surrounding area and there's also a 'memorial garden' located close by, offering quiet shaded seating.
Whilst there's no refreshments on-site, the location is close to the town of Albert some 10-15 minutes drive away. Overall, it's a must see spot if you're visiting the area or passing through.

当您到达边缘,凝视着这道巨大的“伤疤”时,您会立刻感受到这场地下矿井爆炸的威力。这座直径91米、深21米的陨石坑保存完好,维护良好,漫步其间,仿佛置身于边缘,仿佛置身于梦境之中。步道板上刻着在周边地区阵亡士兵的名字。附近还有一个“纪念花园”,提供安静的阴凉座位。
虽然现场不提供茶点,但该地点靠近阿尔伯特镇,车程约10-15分钟。总而言之,如果您正在游览或路过该地区,这里都是一个不容错过的景点。
