Deepest Hole Abruptly Shut Down After Researchers Discovery

One of the biggest peninsulas in the world also boasts the strange title of being one of the most remote pieces of land in the world. The drilling project belongs to the Soviet Union in the Pechengsky District, near the Russian border with Norway.

Scientists have worked tirelessly for over half a century in the most mysterious efforts—to drill a borehole some 2857 stories down towards the core of the planet. But being that this is the deepest hole man has ever dug, researchers will run into something quite surprising, causing all work to abruptly halt. Forever.

What Lies Beneath Our Feet

With amazing advancements that reach the stars (quite literally), the 1950’s brought along a wild obsession with space, and people’s palates were satiated when the first satellite was sent out into the universe. Decades later, we know more than we ever thought we would about the infinite anti-gravity chamber that surrounds us, yet much is left to be wondered when it comes to what lies beneath our feet.

Battle For The Underground

In what many could consider an unchartered grave under our everyday steps, the world has been nothing short of a distraction to potential discovery. Between space advancements and battles like the Cold War fraught with fixation on the stars, many don’t even realize there was another war being fought: the battle for the underground.
