EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of one of the most mysterious and awe-inspiring natural phenomena in history - the Tunguska event of 1908. In this image taken by Kulik in 1927, we see the devastated Tunguska forest, still bearing the scars of a massive explosion that occurred nearly two decades earlier.
The Tunguska event is believed to have been caused by a meteor or comet entering Earth's atmosphere and exploding above Siberia with an estimated force equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT. The blast flattened over 770 square miles of forest, leaving behind a barren landscape that would take years to recover.
Kulik's expedition to investigate the site in 1927 provided valuable insights into the impact and scale of this extraordinary event. His photographs captured not only the physical destruction but also served as a reminder of nature's immense power and unpredictability.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the enduring mystery surrounding Tunguska and its significance in our understanding of space phenomena. It serves as a poignant reminder of how small we are in comparison to the vastness and potential dangers present beyond our planet.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is a testament to human curiosity and resilience in seeking answers about our world and universe.
