The Deepest Human-Made Hole on Earth | Mysteries of the Abandoned | Science Channel

The Kola Superdeep Borehole is a decommissioned Russian scientific drilling site located near the Russia-Norway border. The project's primary purpose was to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust, eventually reaching a record-setting 12,262 meters depth. As of 2024, the Kola Superdeep Borehole remains the deepest human-made hole on Earth.

How about some numbers? "It's very hot." How hot? "They missed their goal." What was their goal?

[joshuagorecki]

A lot was said, but there was still no information shared.

"mariana trench isn't even near as deep!"....40K compared to 35K

One thing you notice from images in the 60s and now is global warming 😅
Ice is completely gone.

If there were adequate government they would probably make some value out of this project, but it's abandoned... Because the only real reason for it was the competition with USA in anything

"so remote, extremely dry conditions..." What on earth is he on about? Its wet, very wet. Puddles and pools everywhere. Hardly the desert is it.

ELF waves made all of it obsolete. Now they can see/manipulate everything in the crust.

What? No mention of the real reason they stopped and got out of there... LOL. Of course, I'm talking about the myriad of Kola Borehole YouTube videos claiming that they heard screaming voices from the depths of Hell, got scared, stopped the drilling, capped it and abandoned the site.

I remember reading a book by Thomas Gold called The Deep Hot Biosphere. It was really interesting!

Thank God we got the military scientists take.

[Chickenlegs]

Amazing accomplishment indeed but the fact they just left this place abandoned is disappointing!! What I mean is it’s littered now with buildings & trash. HUMANS are ruining our planet 🌎 & this proves it again. Respect 🫡 it & clean it up as it was when you first built there.

Past is present is the future. As the video documents Ryssä in a decaying state.

[LandonClimbs]

History channel is the same what the point

[katesmiles]

I wonder if the heat from that sealed pipe could be connected to homes for free heating 😊 don't just stand there Russia go build a small self sufficient village in the icy barren land.

Clever lmfao scientist said the area is dry. Could of swore it was surrounded by lakes!! Do these clever lol scientists do their homework before commenting

8 Mins in, Big OOF! Didnt realize I was subbed to the Soyence Channel. Im out
