Huge landslide opens a 900ft crack along a cliff on the Jurassic Coast after thousands of tons of earth suddenly give way and drop 'like an elevator'
A huge landslide has opened up a giant 900ft crevice along a cliff - dramatically changing the face of Britain's famous Jurassic Coast.
The colossal crack emerged in the land's edge at Bowleaze Cove near Weymouth, Dorset, after thousands of tons of earth suddenly gave way following heavy rainfall.
One walker was photographed standing just 50ft away from the giant 'unstable' chasm, which is 4ft wide and 6ft deep in places.
It has almost cut the land in two and officials have been forced to close a footpath on the side of the crack as it is feared further movement will occur.
