The mystery of the deepest hole in the planet

Have you ever wondered if man could be able to reach the center of the Earth ? Not only was it a dream of Julio Verne , access to the depths of our planet has always been one of the purposes of man, continually determined to defy the limits of science and nature.

But was it achieved? you will wonder.Not at all.The maximum distance achieved was 12,262 meters deep, but the interesting thing about all this was what happened while the prospecting works were underway. The mystery and the legend began to weave from the moment when, simply, it was decided to abandon the project...The reason?

Kola's super-deep well

It was the Russians, who in the 70s started a scientific project called SG-3. The objective was to deepen the earth's crust as much as possible in a very specific area of the Baltic , in the Murmansk oblast, where the call Mohorovich's discuntinuity, offers closer to this part of the earth.

The drilling began in 1972, when the USSR still held all its power.The scientists moved to the old Kola Peninsula using the latest technology in prospecting.Drills were brought Ura lmash 4E and the Uralmash 15000, very powerful machines that were improved year after year.Already in 1983 they had reached 10,000 meters and in 1989, they reached an incredible 12,262 meters.

At this height the work is already getting a little more complicated.As they descended in the earth's crust, the temperature reached some powerful 180º , and although they were satisfied that they had far exceeded the company GNPP Nebra that he had managed to reach 8,578, they longed to go a little further.Although they did not.They could not.

The mystery of the deepest hole in the planet

Laboratory from which the hole was made

The reason why this Soviet project ended up getting frustrated at almost the same time as the Berlin wall , has two versions.The official one, and the unofficial one.The official one is consistent and is the one accepted by the majority : Arriving at these depths of the planet, the mud masses flow continuously in the company of hydrogen .Work is more than impossible.

And what is the other explanation of why I abandon the idea to reach the bowels of the planet? They heard screams.The project manager, Doctor Azzacov informed that it was decided to leave the work unanimously in view of the restlessness that all the men and women of the team experienced.As they drilled, the hole ascended strange screams, torn voices as if they came from the same heart of the planet.The workers, seeing how the temperature rose to the doctor who went down in meters began to believe that this was nothing more than hell , and the screams, the cries of the damned souls.

The truth is that it is not known for sure that it could happen.The project was abandoned, perhaps the political events also determined the lack of budget to continue, It is not known.For now, no one has decided to continue the survey and reach 15,000 meters deep in search of the heart of our planet ... or the same hell.
