2Kola Superdeep Borehole (12,262 meters)

In Russia, the Kola Superdeep Borehole is Earth’s most bottomless artificial hole. Scientists began drilling it in 1970 to study the Earthโ€™s crust. Although it measures only 9 inches wide, it reaches a depth of 12 kilometers!
Scientists only penetrated a fraction of the Earthโ€™s crust despite its incredible depth.
