Closure And Collapse
With the Soviet Union’s fall, the closing of the Kola Superdeep Borehole coincided. By 1995 they had permanently shut down the project. It is even currently considered a risk to the environment. However, remains from the operation may be seen in a neighboring town named Zapolyarny. It is around six kilometers away. Isn’t that remarkable that nobody beat the record? This makes the borehole the deepest human location in the world!
