This is the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth. It stretches 11km (7 mi) down below sea level. But what if we made it even deeper? Get a giant drill because we're about to dig a hole in one of the most hostile environments on the planet. Has anyone attempted to do this before? What kind of nasty conditions would you be stepping into? Could you drill all the way to the Earth's core? What will this hostile environment be like?
