Is it real or an optical illusion?
It is one of the most frequently asked questions on social networks regarding this topic. It happens that many believed that it was an erroneous vision, a crossing of waters or a whirlpool that seemed to have a lot of depth.
The truth is that it was confirmed that it was real. The so-called “portal to hell” looks like a kind of tunnel of swirling water, similar to what happens when a sluice is opened at the bottom of a pond with liquid.
Rumors began to emerge, although there were all kinds of ideas. There was even talk of a portal through which gods from the mythology of the North American Indians returned to this world in a vengeful way.

The reality about this portal to hell
All kinds of inventions were fired, but before the viral news there were answers and clarifications from the authorities. Finally, it became clear that the hole was huge: with an impressive radius of 23 meters.
Why does this phenomenon happen? The explanation is that the hole is the result of opening drains in the Berryesa reservoir. This happens when the reservoir overflows, making it necessary to discharge the water.
It is not the first time that this has happened, but it is the first time that people talk about it on social networks. In addition, now people have cameras on their mobiles, which means that images are shared.
The conduit through which the water escapes was built in the 1950s by a group of engineers who decided to provide for an overflow of the reservoir. The name of the conduit is the “Glory Hole” and it is documented.
