Bizzare Big Horn crack a sight to behold

A slow-moving but enormous crevasse has formed in Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountain Range and the mystery formation is capturing the attentions of outdoorsmen and geologists alike.

The “Gash” or “Crack” is so large it could engulf seven football fields, according to the Tech Times. The image was first broadcast to the world via SNS Outfitters and Guides Facebook page.

The hunting and outdoor expedition company operates in the Big Horn area and wrote that the crack in the earth had developed over two weeks.

“Everyone here is calling it ‘the gash.’ It’s a really incredible sight,“ the company wrote.

Wyoming Geological Survey Manager of Groundwater and Geologic Hazards and Mapping Seth Wittke told the Casper Star Tribune that the 45 metres long by 45 metres wide formation was likely caused by a landslide.

He said geological officials have not had the opportunity to visit the site in person because it is on private property and is also not an imminent threat.

“It’s a really unique thing to see or talk about, but it’s not necessarily a priority because it’s not a danger to anyone or anything,” Wittke said.
