3 post-earthquake sinkholes form near Caye Caulker

Story PictureIt was exactly one week ago today that a seven point one shaker rocked the Belize – Honduras region, sending many homes crashing to the ground and causing damage to infrastructure. Following the phenomenon we showed still photographs of a sinkhole which measured roughly thirty feet in diameter near the Ak’bol Yoga Retreat. It was created one mile from the centre of San Pedro Town as a result of the earthquake. But there have been reports of a number of other natural events that have occurred because of the quake. And today our camera captured three more sinkholes which are now in the sea near Caye Caulker. The three craters appear almost in a straight line near the split. We understand that divers were preparing to enter the sinkholes to find out its dimensions.
