Description
The deepest hole ever dug was by the Soviet Union, starting in 1970. The project reached 7.6 miles deep and took 20 years. We are now attempting this once more, but this time, to harness the immense power of our planet for clean, renewable energy.
However, digging a deep holes is not as easy as it sounds. We speak to some of the leading experts attempting to do this, discussing the pitfalls and what they hope to gain from this endeavour.
