Digging Deep
The Kola Peninsula in Russia is a remote and sparsely populated region. The goal was simple and straightforward. They simply desired to dig as deeply into the crust as they possibly could.
What Their Goal Is
In addition, the Soviets planned to dig as far as 49,000 feet below the surface of the Earth’s surface. They began drilling a series of boreholes that branched out from a single hollow with the assistance of sophisticated equipment. Prospectors in the United States made their own discoveries while working on this project.
