7. Diavik Diamond Mine
This diamond mine, located in Canada’s remote Northwest Territories is actually a pretty recent hole! Work only began on this thing in 2003, and it is one of the world’s preeminent sources of gem diamonds. Since mining operations began, it has produced over 100 million carats of diamonds!!
6. Berkeley Pit
Located in Butte, Montana, this copper mine is now filled with heavily acidic water. Opened in 1955, this mine was used to get copper out of the Earth. Ironically it closed on Earth day in 1982. In the 80’s Berkeley Pit was 1700 feet deep and 900 feet wide. Approximately 320 million tons of ore and over 700 million tons of waste rock were mined from the pit.
5. Mir Mine
This is a diamond mine, and one of the largest excavations in history. This mine in Russia is the 2nd largest man made hole in the world. Located in outside of Mirny, a small town in Eastern Siberia, this place is 1,722 feet (525 meters) deep, and 3,900 feet (1.25 kilometers) across.
4. IceCube Neutrino Observatory
There are many different ways to make holes in the Earth as you know, or will soon learn. But for the University of Wisconsin, they wanted to do a study of the Earth from a different perspective. They decided to go to Antarctica and drill a massive hole into the very ice caps of the Earth to see what's down there. Thus, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory was made.
3. Kimberley Diamond Mine
Also known as the Big Hole, the Kimberly diamond mine in South Africa, is home to the world’s largest diamond mine! It is so large it is visible by space and has produced some of the world’s largest diamonds.
2. Bingham County Mine
Also known as the Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah, this mine definitely takes the cake. This copper mine has been in use for over a century, and it's still open to this day. It's the biggest copper mine in the world and provides about 25% of the country’s copper needs.
1. Kola Superdeep Borehole
Have you ever wondered what's at the center of the Earth? Fact is, no one really knows which is why the Kola Superdeep Borehole is so important. While the Bingham County Mine may be the largest manmade hole in the world, the Kola Superdeep Borehole is the deepest hole in the world!

They are expensive because of losses from mining them, and so few people buying them. The majority of "diamonds" they are selling are dust, not "cut gems".

I also noted the sequence with the cars over the bridge at 0:48 is actually filmed at Gap of Dunloe in Ireland and has nothing to do with the diamond mine in Canada. The mineral shown at 1:42 is pyrite as far as I can see. Iron sulfide. Not really that relevant when discussing a copper mine. "Mine visible from space" at 5:42 and they show a weather system, hurricane or similar, with the eye in the middle. No relevance for a mine. Why not show this mine from space? 7:30 while talking about Bingham, that's Gap of Dunloe in Ireland again....

@JesstheGeologist 5 жыл бұрын

I am not sure about liquifaction at that depth. I thought that process would only happen in uncosolidated sediments. The rock is solid at that depth, but due to the increased pressure it deforms in a ductile way and flows, rather than crack in a brittle fashion like at the surface. There is a common misconception that the Earth is mostly liquid beneath the crust, but other than the outer core it is solid.

I read another story saying that the drillers quit because of their equipment breaking due to too much capacity for then drilling equipment. Drilling equipment today maxes out at a million pounds of casing weight. And you add the average length of a casing tube and you’ll get your depth, a lot shallower than 7.5 miles or 9 miles deep. I’m sure with today’s equipment and tools, we could go further but there have been some horror stories about that hole. A neat read.

Lol, I live in the NWT and I recognized Diavik from the thumbnail and there's some inaccuracies in this video. Most employees at the mine fly in and out every two week rotation, and they do not fly in by a helicopter.. the idea that the employees can get stranded is inaccurate as it's only an hour flight from Yellowknife which is the main point of pickup. Also, while the ice road is accessible for a few short weeks, it's mainly used for the mine's shipments and imports by semi trucks.

00:47 is the Gap of Dunloe in County Kerry, Ireland. It is not near the Diavik mine in Canada. For some reason you showed it again at 7:27 in relation to the Bingham mine. Please mention Kerry in the video description as we benefit from tourism in Ireland and we love to receive visitors, even if they are searching in the wrong place for a huge hole in the ground :)

The "super pit" is a gold mine and still in use today. It has been swallowing up surrounding small towns for decades.

No mention of Homestake gold mine in South Dakota? Homestake closed after mining to over 8,000 feet with hundreds of miles of drifts (tunnels). Possibly a larger hole than five of these others combined. I lived a mile above sea level (Lead, SD), drove 15 minutes to work and on occasion worked over 1,000 feet below sea level (6,250 deep at that time.)

The biggest mine in the world is the kennicott copper mine(Bingham canyon mine) in Utah,USA and I live by it. It also has the tallest tower at the kennicott smelter in the u.s. western hemisphere! You can still go to the mines overlook! 100% recommend it is beautiful. Those big huge mine trucks are amazing!

So let me get this straight.... The Mir Mine in Russia is 1722ft deep and 3900ft wide, and is somehow the 2nd largest diamond mine in the world, whereas the Kimberly Diamond Mine in South Africa is a mere 705ft deep and 1500ft wide and somehow gets the title of world's largest Diamond Mine????...... Make it make sense 🤔🤔

Is anyone else alarmed that they are digging up long forgotten viruses buried in the ice? I’m sitting here in my home, quarantining myself from Covid-19 and watching things like this. I’m obviously a glutton for punishment!
