Discover the mysterious depths of the Earth’s vast reservoirs and the dangerous creatures that lurk there
A Stomach-dropping Plunge
For about 50 years, scientists have dug deep holes in the Earth’s crust to further our knowledge about the planet, collecting core samples for further analysis. Ocean drilling goes back to 1968 when the Glomar Challenger made its first expedition, under the Deep Sea Drilling Project, into the Gulf of Mexico.
In 2021, a team of researchers dug a 5-mile home below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in a bid to study the area’s earthquake history. The hole seen in the photo appears to be a result of an ocean drilling project, and the diver is one brave person for taking the literal plunge down into the unknown.
