Nikel, Russia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikel – site of a large nickel deposit, mine, and smelter. The hole clue could refer to the mine, the deforested area surrounding the smelter, or the holes that smelter’s sulfuric acid air pollutants burn in people’s umbrellas.
Perhaps I should have used a less generic keyword. Now Ron has found the location, and Peter has the correct explanation…
Ron of course gets bonus points for the umbrella holes.
Well, now who shall post the next WoGE? Ron was first, and had a nice explanation. (And he certainly can’t be blamed for my vague keyword.) So I suggest Ron will host the next one.
Alternatively, Peter could choose a new keyword and Ron has to find a suitable location.

I guess the hole keyword rather refers to the famous Kola Superdeep Borehole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole) just in the middle of the view.
No doubt that’s the correct hole, Peter.
