Scientists Seal Deepest Hole On Earth After They Discover This

Is It A Record Breaker?

The hand-dug portions of the Jagersfontein and Bultfontein diamond mines, both located in South Africa, may have been deeper or larger in excavated volume proving that the record no longer or never belonged to the Big Hole.

The mine might not have been all it was thought to be, but its legacy lived on.
