Savannah: This [echoey voice effect] is the deepest hole in the world. Congratulations! You just fell in.
[echo effect] Oh nooo!
The Kola Superdeep Borehole is over 12 km deep [7.6 mi], which is so deep that it would take you almost a minute to hit the ground if you jumped in. But we didn't dig it just for funsies... "Funsies" means jumping in and then falling for a minute.
Soviet scientists started the project in 1970 to learn more about the composition of the Earth's crust. For one thing, they learned that the crust up to that depth in that part of the world was made out of granite transformed by intense pressure, not layers of granite and basalt as geologists have thought. They even found water down there squeezed out from the rock itself. Yeah. Apparently, the Earth's crust is partly made of water.
So, now you know what we can learn from digging a giant hole, and...you haven't even hit the bottom yet. [echoing "no" continues]
