Summary:
Around the world, there are numerous giant holes, some created by natural processes like earthquakes and eruptions, while others were excavated by humans using machines or manual labor. These holes serve various purposes, from accessing water to mining diamonds. Some notable examples include the Bacurau Tajani's well, the Rodriquez Holding Station, the Diavik Diamond Mine, the Bingham Canyon Mine, and the Kimberley Mine. Additionally, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia is the deepest hole ever made by humans, reaching a depth of 12 kilometers.
1. There are thousands of giant holes around the world, some created by natural phenomena like earthquakes and tectonic plate movements, while others were dug by humans for various purposes .
2. The deepest hole ever made by humans is the "Super Deep Glue Well" in Russia on the Kola Peninsula, reaching a depth of 12 kilometers .
3. The hole was dug by the Soviets as a scientific experiment to see how deep they could drill until reaching the Earth's core. The excavations took 20 years and cost a lot of money .
4. The hole is so deep and hot that it became practically impossible to continue the excavations. However, they managed to find some interesting things under the ground, almost seven kilometers deep .
5. Fossils were found in granite and rocks that are approximately 2,762 years old, which have been on Earth almost since its formation .
6. The hole is so deep that it has its own captions according to local residents. After the Soviets made this hole, there are people who claim to hear screams coming out of there .
7. The deepest place on Earth made by nature is the Mariana Trench, with its biggest peak reaching almost 11 kilometers .
8. The hole in Russia was made by machines, and it took seven years to drill it to make these holes. They first had to stop the ice, then they used a hot water drill, right, to drill even more and then finally pass the cables inside .
9. The "Dave Diamond Mine" in Canada is one of the newest holes on this list. It is over 132 meters deep and is located on a 20 square kilometer island known as the Island of East in a lake called Seal De Gross .
10. The mine is not just any mine, it is a very valuable one as it produces around 8 million carats of diamonds per year and this mine alone employs more than 800 employees .
11. The first diamonds were discovered there in the 1990s, but the excavation of the hole only started in 2001 and they started working in 2003 .
12. The "Benga Canyon Mine" is a giant hole located in the mountains of the Offem in the United States. The mine was founded in 1848 by the revenge brothers and was made for open pit copper extraction .
13. The hole is so big that it can be easily seen on the international space station, which is in the Earth's orbit and when this situation passes through the United States, it is possible to see the mine .
14. The hole stopped growing until 2015 the mine was 1,360 meters deep and it continues to be excavated becoming increasingly public .
15. The mine is one of the most productive in the world with a production of 17 million tons of copper, 5,000 tons of silver, and 6,152 tons of gold .
16. The "Kimberley Mine" in South Africa is one of the largest holes dug manually, that is, without the aid of any machine or technology to make holes. The place is also known as Google or Red Bull Big Hole .
17. The hole began to be dug in 1876 when Erasmus Jacobs, a 15-year-old boy, found a transparent stone on his father's farm on the banks of the Order of Planar River, South Africa .
18. The hole was dug entirely manually by more than 5,000 miners who worked in mines, taking a total of 2,720 and 20 kilos of diamonds from the mine .
19. The hole reached its deepest point and 89 and that was when it reached 12 thousand and 200 meters, that is, kilometers point 2 and he ended up winning the award for the deepest hole ever made here on our planet .
20. A lot of money was spent to get to the end, the ship, a lot of things when it comes to visiting the nucleus it's 16 thousand kilometers they only managed to make 12 kilometers in a hole .
21. The crowd is much lower, jokes aside, but it ends up being an interesting law
