What is inside the World's Deepest Bore Hole ? Explained.

 

RESEARCH


We have been constantly doing our research in space and other planets that are around us. The main point where we aren't aware of is our Mother Earth. The knowledge we have gained about space is more than our land. The research is very low about Under the earth.

COLD WAR


The cold war between USSR ( old Russia ) and America was on the top during the 1970s. Cold War refers to getting leaderboard with the things they have or the wealth they have. America and USSR started creating projects for researching space. Russia got the leaderboard in the first by making much analysis in space. In the end, America got the first position by composing a project to set foot on the moon and successfully made it. After this space exploration cold war, America and USSR started making projects for exploration under the earth. Both the sides, borewells are being dug continuously. America suddenly stopped this digging process as they thought that they are wasting money on this digging process. The money spent on space exploration has already dissipated their money a lot. But USSR didn't stop their process and continued it. USSR used many drilling machines and much other equipment to dig this hole. Their target is to dig till 49,000 ft below the earth. When reaching a certain depth, they found many fossils. These fossils belong to small microorganisms. A big question raised within the scientist that how microorganisms are found in that depth. After going more deeper than before, they were able to find water. Basically, water is found within a small depth. But the depth creates astonishment with everybody. People in USSR started protesting to stop the process, as they are spending a lot in this research process and not taking care of people's poverty. So, USSR stopped this process. People who are living around it called this hole a Hell's hole. People felt some weird sound from this hole. As time passed, people moved out of this area and still now no proper road or village maintenance can be seen there. During this time, USSR was divided into Russia and other subdivision countries. The government closed this hole and built a tower over it. After some years, again they destroyed the tower and started digging deeper. But this time, the government stopped by itself. The explanation for this closing is that the heat under the earth is so hot. This makes machines melt. So, a door has been screwed down. The hole is just an 8-inch diameter hole where a small kid can fall in. Even today, you can visit this place.

This hole is called 'Kola well'. This is located in the Kola Peninsula in Russia near Murmansk. This well is considered the deepest Borewell in the world. This well is deeper than Mariana Trench. Measures about 40,000 ft below the earth.
