A detail in the Casa de la Torre, the Spanish home of American artist and collector Robert Brady (1928–1986).

Drilled by the Soviets just to see what would happen, the Kola Superdeep Borehole is the result of a scientific project attempting to drill as deep as possible into the Earth’s crust.
The deepest point reached 12,262-metre-long (40,230 ft) in 1989 and still is the deepest artificial point on Earth. The project was closed down in late 2006 because of a lack of funding. All the drilling and research equipment was scrapped. The site has been abandoned since 2008.

More than 60 people had signed up to collect a fresh bee colony (“a shoe box of 12,000 flying, singing, venomous creatures”).
