do you remember when you were a kid and
dug deep holes in the wet sand at the
beach you kept digging and digging
wondering where you'd end up if you
never stopped well Wonder no more this
video has got you covered let's explore
how far down you may go and what you can
find there and by the way
who knows maybe someone's already used
some fancy schmancy Tech to dig all the
way down to the planet's core and we're
just clueless about it
let's dig in
at a depth of 2.3 feet you'll find a
whole lot of tunnels made by moles and
rabbits and get this those moles are
insane at digging they can make a tunnel
longer than 65 feet in just one day
if you dig a bit more around six feet
you'll hit the standard burial depth in
Western culture that is
interestingly the phrase six feet under
didn't just appear out of nowhere it was
actually a rule implemented by the mayor
of London during the plague outbreak in
1665 to prevent the spread of infection
if you want to see something really
gross look out for deep burrowing
earthworms at a depth of 10 feet
some species like drawida grandis can
grow up to a whopping 3.5 feet long yuck
did you know that a metal detector can
only reach a maximum range of 20 feet if
you're trying to find something buried
deeper than that you're out of luck
unless you've got a high-end detector
that might be able to pick up a car at
that depth
but if you're looking for something
small or using a lower end detector
forget about it
there was a guy named William little aka
the mole man who lived in London and dug
himself a burrow 26 feet deep under his
own house he started way back in the 60s
and it took him over 40 years to dig the
whole thing
and get this the network of tunnels he
made stretches over 65 feet away from
the house
serious digging
but if you want to see some real animal
digging skills go down almost 40 feet
and you'll find the deepest burrow ever
made by an animal
you would never guess who dug it ready
[Music]
Nile crocodiles that's who
if you ever find yourself 60 feet
underground take a look at beijing's
underground city
it's an emergency shelter that's
basically a huge network of tunnels and
rooms underneath China's capital city
how cool is that
go down further to about 110 feet below
ground in London
you'll find an underground farm where
people grow veggies and herbs
now let's dive deeper literally the y40
diving pool in Italy is the deepest
swimming pool in the world and it goes
131 feet down
it's so deep that a free fall into its
pit without water takes around three
seconds this is actually quite a lot
even if it doesn't sound like that
at about 280 feet underground in
Cappadocia Turkey
you'll find that Darren kuyu underground
city a vast ancient underground complex
that presumably dates back to the 7th
century
the channel tunnel that connects the UK
with France is 377 feet deep
the roots of a wild fig tree growing at
The Echo caves in South Africa go down

and these are the deepest routes we know
about
how about spending the night in the

Salas silvermine in Sweden
if you're an adventurous Runner you
might be interested to know that the
deepest half marathon was held in 2004
in the bakni assault mine in Poland at a
depth of 695 feet
are you a fan of engineering Feats the
Seikon tunnel in Japan is the deepest
railway tunnel in the world at a depth
of 787 feet
and if you want to drive deep under the
sea you can do so in the ixson tunnel in
Norway which reaches a depth of 942 feet
the deepest hand dug water well in the
world is at a depth of
1286 feet it's called wooding Dean water
well and it's located near Brighton in
the UK
the well was dug in 1862 and most
probably it's also the deepest hole dug
without any technological Aid kudos to
everyone involved
if you're an adventurer you might be
interested in the deepest natural shaft
in the world which goes down to a depth
of
2110 feet
it's located in the virtoglavica cave in
Slovenia
and a free fall down this shaft would
last for a heart-stopping 11 seconds
in 2010 33 Chilean miners were trapped
at an even deeper depth of
2297 feet in the San Jose copper and
gold mine
they were stuck there for 69 days until
they were finally rescued
moving on the deepest bat colony in the
world resides at a depth of 3 800 feet

go all the way down to 4920 feet
now let's talk about the Grand Canyon
you might not think too much about it
but it's actually super deep the deepest
part of the canyon is about
5920 feet down
and on average it's about

if you're feeling adventurous you might
want to check out the kreubera cave in
Georgia
it goes down a whopping

the world
the deepest radio broadcast ever
happened in Creighton mine Ontario
Canada
which is 7677 feet below the Earth's
surface and it was held by CBC in 2005.
[Music]
and if you want to get even deeper
there's the Jinping underground
laboratory in China which is 8 202 feet
underground and the deepest lab in the
world
the Moab caught song gold mine in South
Africa has the deepest single shaft
elevator in the world
it's located at a depth of 10 203 feet
and if you decide to take it it'll take
you 4.5 minutes to reach the bottom free
fall into its shaft would take as much
as 25 seconds
deep in the Tau tone of mine in South
Africa at a depth of 11 811 feet the
deepest known multicellular organism has
been found guess what it is
obviously a worm oh
let's remain in the Tau tone of mine for
another moment here you can reach the
deepest human destination in the world
the temperature down there is a
scorching 151 degree F and the journey
takes more than an hour
the oceanic crust has an average depth
of almost twenty thousand feet which is
also the depth at which the deepest
known microbes were found in rocks below
China's song Liao basin
at a depth of about 36 000 feet we find
the Mariana Trench the deepest point of
the ocean
but people have gone even deeper than
that
the cola super deep borehole was until
recently the champion of the depths it's
the second deepest artificial hole on
this planet with a depth of 40
355 feet
the scientists once attempted to drill
through Earth's crust in a massive
project however they only managed to
drill a third of the way before the
drill couldn't operate anymore due to
the temperature reaching 356 degree F
this hole is not easily recognizable as
its diameter is just nine inches and it
looks unremarkable nevertheless it is
well covered to ensure people don't
accidentally fall into it if you were to
drop a coin into the hole it would take
50 seconds to hit the bottom
if you are wondering which artificial
hole on Earth is the deepest it's the
z44 Chavo oil and gas well the depth of
this hole is a staggering forty thousand
six hundred and four feet equivalent to
the height of 15 Burj khalifas stacked
on top of each other
