Geologists and travel enthusiasts are familiar with many of the earth’s deepest places. The Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth in terms of feet below sea level. We know about the Marianas Trench. There are some super deep mines around the world. What’s deeper than all of those features, though, is the Kola Superdeep Borehole.

This is a hole that’s actually man-made, but the bottom of it has never been accessed by humans. Keep reading to find out what’s at the bottom of it.

Where It Is

The Kola Superdeep Borehole is located in the Pechengsky District northwest of the Murmansk oblast, on the coast of the Barents Sea. This district is close to Finland and Norway. The hole itself is the result of a scientific drilling spearheaded by the Soviet Union.
