    Tips

    Purgatory is a so-called pingo ruin, created in the last ice age. Pingo ruins are the remains of a so-called pingo, a hill created by pushing ice. When this ice melts, a circular crater is formed filled with meltwater. Over time, organic material enters the lake as a result of plant growth, from which peat can be formed. Due to peat extraction by humans, the shape of the pingos has become visible again in the landscape, in the form of round lakes such as Het Vagevuur.

        Never knew what a pingo ruin is, but it is certainly a nice hangman word
