BeauThe deepest man-made hole in the Earth is located in the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia. The depth achieved from the surface was 12,262 meters, roughly 7.5 miles. The 9" bore hole was created by a rotating bit spun by the pumping of drilling mud. Unexpectedly high temperatures caused the stoppage of the drilling in 1994, 24 years after drilling was started. The goal of the Russians was to drill to the Moho, the boundary between the crust and the mantle, but the goal was not reached.

The deepest point in any ocean is the Mariana Trench (aka Challenger Deep) in the western Pacific Ocean at 11,033 metres deep.

What is the deepest point in all the oceans?
Challenger deep
How deep has the Earth's crust been drilled into?
This can be answered in two ways.Man has gone "in person" as deep as the deepest mine, TauTona in Carletonville, South Africa at 3.9 kilometres.Boreholes have been made even deeper.The present holder of this record is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. It reached 12.262 kilometres in 1989.
Have scientists drilled into the earths Lower Mantle?
No, scientists have not yet drilled into the Earth's lower mantle. This region of the Earth is located about 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface, making it extremely difficult to reach with current drilling technology. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles deep.
How deep is the deepest river in the world?
The world's widest river is the Amazon, extending six miles wide in some places.
Where is the Philippine Deep located?
The Philippine Deep is located in the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Philippines. It is one of the deepest parts of the earth's oceans, reaching depths of over 10,000 meters.
