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?

[@Kemaaaaa]

Their goal was to reach the mantle

[@joshuagorecki4743]

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

[@b516uck]

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

[@ditzygypsy]

5,000 feet difference is quite a bit. Yes, the trench is very deep, but this man made hole is still a lot deeper.

[@MrSandroness]

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

[@whiskeymonk4085]

You mean climate change right? Global warming is so 90's.

[@dirtysilver2841]

Huh??? Which ice in which location??? Are you talking about the ice near this hole in Russia? Ice in this region of the world is always coming and going. The odd part is knowing this region of the world was weirdly covered in more ice during the 60's than it had ever had for 240 years prior. That is because during the 60's and 70's the earth was going through a cooling period. Which is why scientist at the time were warning about a coming ice age... something that causes extinctions far more than warmer climates. In fact warmer climates yield more life, not less.

[@kyrylyehupov3928]

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

[@GHHaunts8881]

The horryfying part is when they drilled the hole and found hell, it is actually in a horror movie called "NINE MILES DOWN" and there were ZERO records indicating that this was true, but a youtuber found that it was fake because the temperature was too hot for a microphone to be lowered, after this, it captured the audio before it melted.

[@shaunl446]

My guy Lynette was very enthusiastic

[@MomoKind_YT]

😅😊😅

[@hixnada8278]

What is this? A tabloid video? Clearly someone who can’t decide how many holes they have in their body (are a man or a woman?) is a great person to tell us what we need to know about the hole.

[@marcuscurtis8159]

ROFL

[@walternullifidian]

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

[@3henry214]

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 KZbin videos claiming that they heard screaming voices from the depths of Hell, got scared, stopped the drilling, capped it and abandoned the site.

[@justarandomcommenter5562]

There's also a theory that their drills started to melt

[@kevinrivera1492]

Nice merh pipe on the desk

[@TheLibTearMaker]

Amazing

[@whiskeymonk4085]

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

[@assilrachidi9135]

took me by surprise so much he jump-scared me the moment he started talking. he wanted to draw attention to him, I was like, alright I'm leaving a comment, not about the content of the documentary, but about this dude called Lynette

[@angowT]

"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.

[@SaeedEsmaeilian]

Impressive

[@russellslaughter2957]

Thank God we got the military scientists take.

[@NathanSummer-e3c]

why havent we tryed again ?

[@thomassecurename3152]

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

[@Chickenlegs836]

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.

[@billhuffman4327]

I can't stand litterbugs.

[@RDEnduro]

Your one of us! You also bear this burden. Also the effort to remove the buildings would be incredible for a failing government

[@katesmiles4208]

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.

[@عالمالمعرفة-ز8م]

nice . V

[@corbettdubberly5271]

That is a man.

And also a historian, why here?

[@II-zw7vw]

They just had to throw him in for SJW good boy points.

[@Cutedge2]

What in the clown show is this.

[@TheGravygun]

Plastic layer?

[@reo1994]

The rock wants to melt, but the pressure won’t allow it.

[@MasterJuan-os3os]

What is 39000 ft?

[@KelleyEngineering]

11887 meters

[@NicholasPorter-p8i]

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

[@markietsion3741]

😮

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

"The rocks are no longer rocks!" Very valuable take there, obviously this person was included for their intellectual insight 😂

You have these things on the bottom of your legs that you use to walk. You might not have noticed them yet. Also, it’s a unit of measurement 12 inches long.
