This crater found in Siberia more than 60 years ago is still puzzling researchers, who have not been able to give a definitive statement on its origin. (Via NTV Russia)

I don't get it. For something found 60 years ago the word 'suddenly' is being tossed around a lot. Am I reading that wrong? Did this hole just show up?

Was it previously covered with snow?

I think there are several, with a "new" one having been recently discovered. A later section of the article describe it as having existed perhaps for a couple of years.
