Martin's Hole, where the sun shines only twice per year

This version of Martins Hole Where Sun Shines Only Twice Year Flna443923 - Breaking News | NBC News Clone was adapted by NBC News Clone to help readers digest key facts more efficiently.

The sun shines through Martin's Hole, a natural gap just underneath the jagged ridge of Mount Grosses Tschingelhorn (2849 metres/9347 feet) near the eastern Swiss alpine village of Elm on Wednesday. Twice a year, about eight days before the start of spring and again about eight days after the beginning of autumn, the rising sun sends its rays through the 19-meter wide hole in the mountain face before clearing the ridge.
