A Dream Decades In The Making
This was just the tip of the iceberg, however. These scientists established that the rocky substance of this inferno had a density far lower than the one in their hypotheses. This meant that the fiery temperatures caused the rock to react with odd and erratic results. The Kola crew were not about to risk their extremely expensive and irreplaceable gear being destroyed and were heartbreakingly forced to pull out. The year was now 1992, more than two decades into the project.

Treasures In The Deep
But the scientists would not walk away empty-handed as they made their hasty retreat from the Kola Superdeep Borehole (which was the only appropriate name for such a dig). One of the most fascinating things that they unearthed were marine plants fossils. Such naturals treasures had been phenomenally preserved after an eternity deep undergound. This was especially fascinating given the immeasurable time that such formations had been buried miles beneath the earth and its ancient rocks believed to be aged at more than two billion years.
