Why Russia Had to Stop Digging the Deepest Hole on Earth
Humans dug the deepest hole in history… and the deeper they went, the stranger Earth became. In the frozen wilderness of Russia’s Kola Peninsula, Soviet scientists spent nearly 20 years drilling over 12 kilometers beneath the surface in an attempt to unlock the planet’s secrets. But crushing pressure, extreme heat, mysterious geological discoveries, and bizarre underground myths eventually forced them to stop. The Kola Superdeep Borehole remains the deepest human-made hole on Earth — and a chilling reminder that we still know surprisingly little about the world beneath our feet.
