The Guinness World Records award for “the deepest human invasion into the Earth’s crust” goes to the Kola Superdeep Borehole. Its depth is 7.4 mi. You can find it in the icy part of Russia where the winter temperature of -40°F is a common thing. Local scientists started to dig it in the 1970s. The grand plan was to reach the depth of 9.3 mi. It was a purely scientific project to study the Earth’s crust and maybe get to the hot mantle.
Up to the depth of 4.3 mi, the drill easily coped with granite rock. Then, denser layers came and broke the drill. The scientists had to change the drilling pattern. In the end, it resembled a tree with many branches. The deeper it went, the hotter it became. The temperature went up to 350°F. The equipment was constantly out of order and work was stopped completely in 1992. The place is now abandoned, overgrown with moss and rust. But it has its fair share of myths surrounding it too…

Misinformation: Those sounds you say do not exist, are easily found on recordings from that hole. So, saying it is not true is a lie and misinformation.
I didn’t know it was bright side
Wow…Rocks grow according to this video. At approx.1m23s into the video the narrator states the place is overgrown with moss and rocks, hmmm. Did he say Keeve for the city of Kiev? What a dunce. Looks like someone spent too much time gaming rather than reading.
I’M HERE IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES
I think Mohole came from a guy named Andrija Mohorovicic
Did anyone realize that the drill is spinning the wrong direction?

It's no wonder the earth is falling apart.. These fkn scientists just can't help them self's.. Leave the earth alone focus on your wife's.
Decent monsters
And some people drill holes for water we still use the well went down a 1000 feet and hot water and believe me it better than what you get from the city
They put to much chemicals and the water that's why we do the well
This video lowered my IQ.
I live in Kimberley the hole is called the big hole
Rock band in front of your voice makes this so annoying it is unwatchable… Horrible trend
