The Deepest Places on Earth

Mankind has long been fascinated by achieving new heights. It’s literally a cliche statement that we’ll make. We look to the stars, we seek to rise above, we jump hurdles. But it’s worth noting there are plenty of things to find when we look down deep down. There are some remarkably deep places on Earth that plumb the depths of the world around us.

It's crazy seeing the difference between Simon on here bio mega and geo compared to "the boy with the blaze" aka my British info dealer lol

[@DerptyDerptyDUM]

You can already see the 🔥BLAZE🔥 starting to creep into his other channels.... just a saucy glimmer here and there. 😄

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I'll admit that I prefer Simon's 'your boy with the Blaze' persona. 😉😉😉

[@chasindigo]

The boy with the blaze, is the office jerk, he is the guy that doesn't care about what you did on the weekend and will borrow your stapler and never give it back.

I live in Timmins!! We call it Kidd Creek Mine. I know so many people who work there, but I've only been on site once. SO COOL to be featured on this list!! They used to keep bison on the property to prove that it was safe... but many people believe they would change out the bison as they died from all the chemicals used in the processing.

I have friends that claim that the only reason we haven't found the Loch Ness Monster yet, is because Loch Ness is SUPER SUPER DEEP. It's fine, I'm sure the locals are glad for tourists to visit and spend money.

“Fifteen thousand feet per square inch”. Umm. Not familiar with that reckoning.

Apparently Kola is no longer the deepest hole in the world. A few years ago, this record was broken by an oil well. But it may come with the caveat that the well may or may not go straight down.

[@minuteman4199]

So what's the difference between a canyon and a valley? From the pictures of the canyon in Tibet, I would call it a valley rather than a canyon.

[@billphillips5821]

You stated 15000 ft per square inch as the pressure. Pressure units are in force per area (e.g. 15000 pounds per square inch) or bars or atmospheres.

[@jantschierschky3461]

Well also stated 10 000 atmospheres, actually 1100

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

Bonus fact: Challenger deep is 6.8 miles deep

[@shebbs1]

Miles? Ok, stick with your cave-man units.

[@jantschierschky3461]

Though around 11 000m

[@blatherskite3009]

0:53 Gotta love the way that whenever distances and the like are dumbed-down to the lowest level, i.e. not stated in actual units of measurement but instead likened to something, they're always translated into terms that are only really meaningful to Americans, e.g. it's X many Statues of Liberty deep, or it's X many football pitches long, or it's the distance from New York to Pittsburgh, etc. I'm sure it's just a coincidence (wink)

[@andiward7068]

Funny enough, even Americans don't get how tall those landmarks are unless they live nearby.
