Pozo de las Animas or the “Well of Souls” is a pair of two spectacular sinkholes located in Mendoza province in Argentina near the village of Los Molles. Both sinkholes were created by the collapse of underground voids created by the dissolution of gypsum deposits by groundwater. The Northern sinkhole (1st PiP) has steep, crumbling sides and it is dangerous to approach the rims of it, as the sinkhole is still eroding. - In the right background Cerro Las Leñas (4351 m) is visible. - scanned slide, Minolta X700
