Description

In the early hours of June 30, 1908, a massive explosion devastated the Tunguska region of Siberia. Despite leveling thousands of square kilometers of forest, and locals describing it as artillery fire, the Tunguska event went unsolved for decades. And even today, speculation remains. This is the mystery of the Tunguska Incident.
