The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина СГ-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989. [1]
In 2012, scientists exploring blue holes in the Bahamas discovered bacteria deep in the caves where no other life existed, potentially filling the knowledge “gap” on what types of lifeforms ...
Its name means deep water in the Mayan language and, at over 420 metres (1,380 ft) deep, it is the deepest known blue hole. [1] Blue holes generate a distinctive blue color when seen from above and are typically only a few dozen meters deep. It was discovered in about 2003 by a local diver who followed a grouper that went into its mouth. The ...
The temperature deep within was 1,000 °C (1,800 °F), heat from a chamber of fire from which screaming could be heard. The Soviet Union had, in fact, drilled a hole more than 12 km (7.5 miles) deep, the Kola Superdeep Borehole , located not in Siberia but on the Kola Peninsula , which shares borders with Norway and Finland .
As the race in space was winding down, soviet scientists turned inwards. You'd never guess that this is the site of one of their great achievements. This hard-to-find rusty cap in the ruins of a ...
Scientists using an ocean drilling vessel have dug the deepest hole ever in rock from Earth's mantle - penetrating 4,160 feet (1,268 meters) below the Atlantic seabed - and obtained a large sample ...
The sci-fi novel series Red Mars has several deep holes in the Martian crust called Moholes. They are deep enough that the hole becomes hot from the mantle and provides heat to the thin Martian atmosphere. The 1970 Doctor Who serial Inferno, which also deals with a scientific effort to drill into the Earth's crust, was inspired by Project ...
Known as Dean’s Blue Hole, this geological wonder located off the coast of Long Island is a staggering 663 feet deep, making it one of the deepest blue holes in the world and also an area ripe ...
