The Kola Super Deep Borehole, located in the city, holds a fascinating history. It was part of a groundbreaking scientific project focused on drilling to the deepest point on Earth. However, the drilling came to an abrupt halt in 1992 due to incredibly high temperatures, leading to the abandonment of the entire construction. Although it has become the subject of various urban legends, this project has yielded numerous scientific discoveries. For instance, it unearthed the remains of the first plankton, providing us with a better understanding of our planet's history.
