How deep can we go into Earth's interior?

Asked by MonroeSchamp

Answer (3)

So far, the "Kola Superdeep Borehole" is the deepest artificial point on Earth. Drilling began in the Pechengsky District of the old Soviet Union in May 1970, and after 19 years, it reached 12,262 meters. (That's 40,230 feet, or about 7.6 miles.) Although that was 25 years ago, nothing has been drilled deeper, and it's still the record.
7.6 miles is something like 0.19 percent of the distance to the Earth's center.

Currently, the deepest artificial point we have reached in Earth's interior is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, which is 12,262 meters deep. This is only a tiny fraction of the distance to the Earth's center, which is about 6,371 kilometers away. Due to extreme conditions and technological limitations, our ability to explore deeper layers of the Earth is still very limited.
