If you go to either of the poles, the same thing will happen - you will see a giant gap. It feels like the gap goes on left and right, but you are actually just going in a circle. Light refraction (due to air passing in) warps your perspective of space, and the hole being big itself helps this illusion. When the holes and gap meet, it looks like a corner. This is because the hole's curvature makes it look like a 90 degree angle. Despite all of that, some pictures just fill the hole in with ocean or ice. | If you go to either of the poles, the same thing will happen - you will see a giant gap.
