The world's deepest, known as the well to hell, man-made hole was dug in Russia as part of a scientific experiment.
Despite its immense depth, the hole, about the width of a dinner plate, has since been sealed up. However, not before scientists were able to unlock many secrets and mysteries beneath the Earth's surface.
The world's deepest sparked terrible for local residents.
The Kola Superdeep Borehole, located in Russia's Kola Peninsula, has sparked fear among locals.
Some claim that the hole has made them hear the screams of people being tortured in hell.
Many wonder about the purpose of the Borehole.
Why would anyone bore such a deep hole into the Earth?
Some speculate that the Borehole aided scientists in exploration or underground oil mining. Others believe the Earth's deepest hole harbors dark secrets that scientists prefer to keep concealed. However, what is the truth behind it?"
However, what is the truth behind it?
The world’s deepest hold was actually part of the races in the Cold War. While the Space Race is the most well-known, there was also one to investigate deeper into the Earth.
The Kola Borehole was constructed to bring discoveries to science.
Russia's Kola Superdeep Borehole was created by the Soviets in the name of science.
The goal was to learn more about what's really under our feet and dig to depths unknown. It stretches 40,000 feet below the surface and is now covered by a rusty metal lid.
The project to drill into the Earth's surface began near Murmansk in the 1970s when Soviet scientists wanted to learn more about the Earth's crust.
Over two decades, they managed to dig more than 7.5 miles down into the Earth.
However, after a long period, the world’s deepest hole was closed for unsettling reasons.
In 1992, the scientists had to stop drilling because the temperature reached around 180 degrees Celsius, far hotter than predicted.
Experts still need to figure out a way to overcome this temperature issue if they want to keep drilling without destroying their equipment.
Drilling stopped in August 1994, reportedly due to a lack of funding and not the temperature issues.
Despite the hole's immense depth, they still only made it around one third of the way through the Earth's crust. As you get deeper and closer to the molten mantle, things heat up.
At the bottom of the hole, temperatures reached a toasty 180C (356F), which was too hot to continue.
