HIX Tutor · Accepted Answer

undefined The deepest anyone has dug into the Earth is about 7.5 miles. This is at a place called the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia.

Here’s how it happened:

1. **Start digging:** They began in 1970.
2. **Drill a hole:** They used special drills to make a deep hole.
3. **Go deep:** They reached about 7.5 miles deep after many years.
4. **Stop digging:** They stopped in 1992 because it was too hot to go deeper.

That’s the deepest we have ever dug!
