The Great Blue Hole Belize is a large marine sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 70 km rom the mainland and Belize City. The Great Blue Hole is circular in shape, 318 m (1,043 ft) across and 407 feet deep. The Great Blue Hole Belize has a surface area of 70,650 square metres (760,500 sq ft). The Great Blue Hole Belize was formed during several phases of the Quaternary glaciation when sea levels were much lower. Analysis of stalactites found in the Great Blue Hole shows that formation took place 153,000, 66,000, 60,000, and 15,000 years ago. As the ocean began to rise again, the cave was flooded.
