A massive cave found in Canada earlier this year has been unofficially dubbed the Sarlacc’s Pit due to its passing resemblance to the monstrous dwelling featured in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.
Reported by the CBC, the cave was discovered in the northeastern area of Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. It was found by a crew traveling in a helicopter while conducing a census of caribou native to the area.
At roughly 328 feet (100 meters) across and about 197 feet (60 meters) wide, its opening has been compared to the size of a regulation soccer field. Though further exploration is necessary to determine its precise depth, initial examinations suggest it’s at least 443 feet (135 meters) deep.
