10: The Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah
When you think about deep holes dug into our planet, what do you really picture? Giant pits in the ground you can’t see the bottom of?
The Bingham Canyon Mine, also known as the Kennecott Copper mine, is the largest copper mine in the entire world, and also one of the largest man-made excavations ever completed.

9: IceCube Neutrino Observatory, Antarctica
Deep in the frigid wasteland of Antarctica there sits an enormous particle detector known as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. From the ground it doesn't look like much, but beneath the ice it’s a massive international observatory that is used for hunting neutrinos.

8: The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan
Ever wonder if there was a passage to hell on earth? Well, we may have found it! One of the most interesting holes in the world is known as the Door to Hell or the Gateway to Hell, and it's located in Turkmenistan.

7: Mirny Mine, Russia
It should be no surprise that one of the most mysterious and deepest mines in the world is located in a frozen Siberian town that sits just at the edge of the Arctic Circle. Mirny Mine is approximately 280 miles(450km) from the Arctic Circle.

6: Diavik Diamond Mine, Canada
Let’s keep talking about those big beautiful rocks buried in the earth! Russia is not the only owner of a massive diamond mine. Did you know that Canada is the fourth largest producer of diamonds? In the snowy tundra of northern Canada, the Diavik Diamond Mind is nearly as large as Mirny Mine in Russia, and just as cold.

5: Dean’s Blue Hole, Bahamas
Dean's Blue Hole plunges beneath the surface of the water all the way down 663 feet(202m). What makes Dean's Blue Hole so incredible is that it's located in an otherwise relatively shallow bay west of Clarence Town in the Bahamas. And what makes a blue hole so much different than just a normal drop in the ocean?

4: The Berkeley Pit, Montana
The Berkeley Pit in Montana was once one of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world. It's still a giant hole, but it's no longer a mine. You can find the hole in Butte, and it's now filled with over 40 billion gallons of acidic water, discarded metals, and bizarre microscopic life forms.

3: The Guatemala City Sinkhole, Guatemala
There is nowhere on earth more overran by sinkholes than Guatemala City. Their most impressive sinkhole is about 66 feet(20m) wide and 100 feet(30m) deep and looks like the result of an alien blaster beating up the city. The hole is perfectly circular.

2: The Kimberley Diamond Mine, Africa
South Africa is often thought of as the diamond capital of the world, and so it is no surprise that one of the world's largest diamond mines is located in Kimberley, South Africa. It's known as the “Big Hole,” and it's so large that you can see this one from space too!

1: The Kola Superdeep Borehole, Russia
Drum roll please! It's the moment you have all been waiting for. The deepest man-made hole ever dug is known as The Kola Superdeep Borehole, and it's located in Russia, deep in the Arctic Circle. The hole was excavated back during the Cold War when The United States and the USSR were competing to go the farthest and dig the deepest.
