Woodingdean (England)- the deepest well in the world, dug by hand. Its construction began in 1858. Initially, it was planned to dig only 122 m, but no water was found at this depth, and then we had to wade further into the bowels of the Earth, reaching a depth of 392 m (this is more than the Empire State Building!) Like everything grandiose, the construction of the well cost human lives victims. At least one of the diggers died while working hard in merciless conditions, climbing down flimsy ladders every day. Prisoners from a nearby prison were used as labor to create the well.
Tagebau Hambach (Germany)- the deepest open pit in the world, the depth of which is 370 m. However, the mine is famous not only for its depth. Thus, Tagebau Hambach uses the largest excavator: with its help, about 24 thousand tons of brown coal are lifted to the surface every day. That's not all - next to the quarry is the world's largest artificial hill, Sophienhöhe, from the top of which you can view the mine in all its glory. The hill rises 301.8 m above sea level, i.e. it is almost as high as the quarry is deep.
El Zacaton (Mexico)- a beautiful (and dangerous for risky divers) karst sinkhole. Naturally, the deepest in the world. Sinkholes can form suddenly, including in residential areas, and such collapses can be disastrous. However, the El Zakaton sinkhole is not new: it was formed during the Pleistocene (that is, in the period 2.588-11.7 million years ago). In addition to its depth (339 m) and glorious age, what adds special charm to it is the fact that the depression is filled with water. This “reservoir” has attracted brave divers more than once, but only a robot managed to sink to the very bottom.
Lake Baikal- the deepest lake in the world (1642 m) and one of the most beautiful places on the planet, which attracts both tourists and scientists. Dives of manned vehicles to the bottom of the lake have been taking place since 1977. In 2009, the Mir bathyscaphe sank to a depth of 1640 m and reached what is supposedly the deepest point of the bottom. In total, during the “Worlds” expedition on Baikal during 2008–2010, 160 dives were made on the famous deep-sea vehicles “Mir-1” and “Mir-2”.
Krubera Cave, or Crow Cave (Abkhazia)- the deepest cave in the world (2199 m) and the only cave known to people deeper than 2 km. The karst cave, discovered in 1960, was named after the master of Russian karst studies, Alexander Kruber. The second name - Crow Cave - appeared in the 1980s, when Ukrainian speleologists reached a depth of 340 m: this name is due to the crows that lived in the cave. Since 2000, the Krubera Cave has attracted researchers from all over the world, who discover new passages and galleries every year. The Crow Cave may contain many more interesting things, but its secrets will only be revealed to those who do not suffer from claustrophobia.
Kidd Mine (Ontario, Canada)- the world's deepest copper-zinc mine, extending 2733 m below the sea. This is not the deepest mine in the world, but... The quarry is located in the north, it is closest to the center of the Earth of all existing mines. Its history begins in 1964, since then this open-pit mine has been expanding underground. Every year, more than 2 thousand workers mine millions of tons of ore here. Additional deepening of the quarry is planned in 2017.
Litke gutter- the deepest depression in the Arctic Ocean and in the entire Eurasian basin is located 350 km from the “Arctic desert” of the island of Spitsbergen. The trench is not only deep (5449 m), but also cold - perhaps the Lithuanian Trench can be called one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. The depth was discovered in 1955 by members of the expedition of the icebreaker "Fedor Litke", after which it was named.
Milwaukee depth- the deepest point of the trench of Puerto Rico and the entire Atlantic Ocean, going 8740 m below sea level. Like the Litke Trench, the Milwaukee Deep is named after the vessel that first recorded it, the USS Milwaukee. The depth of Milwaukee became known on February 14, 1939. The Puerto Rican depression itself is located on the border of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean - where the fault runs. According to many geologists, a volcanic eruption is possible in this place soon, which, in turn, will cause a powerful tsunami.
Mariana Trench, like other deepest depressions - the Tonga Trench, the Philippine Trench, the Kermadec, the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench - is located in the Pacific Ocean. Its deepest point, the so-called Challenger Deep, is 11,034 m below sea level. No wonder she attracts people to her. Thus, Hollywood director James Cameron and businessman Richard Branson competed to see who would be able to reach the bottom of the Martian trench first and become the third person in history to go so deep. Cameron won.
Kola superdeep well- the deepest place on our planet, and it was created by human efforts (surprisingly, not for the purpose of extracting natural resources, but exclusively for scientific research). It is located in the Murmansk region, and its depth is 12,262 m. Previously, more than 10 research laboratories worked at the Kola superdeep well, studying ancient rocks whose age exceeded 2.8 billion years. Today the well is mothballed and is in disrepair.
Where is the deepest place on Earth? How far is it from the center of the Earth? If Everest was placed there, would it rise above the surface of the Earth?
Today we will deal with the deepest places, holes, wells, caves, wells in the world, natural and man-made.
Here are the famous Parisian Catacombs - a network of winding underground tunnels and man-made caves beneath Paris. The total length, according to various sources, is from 187 to 300 kilometers. Since the end of the 18th century, the remains of almost six million people have been buried in the catacombs. 
40 meters
The Terme Millepini hotel in Italy chose this bold strategy, digging a 40-meter-deep tunnel for snorkelers and divers. This is the Y-40 pool. The most interesting thing about the Y-40 deepest pool is that it is filled with thermal water and has a wonderful temperature of 33 degrees Celsius. 
105.5 meters
This is the depth of the Arsenalnaya metro station of the Kyiv metro, which is located on the Svyatoshinsko-Brovarskaya line between the Khreshchatyk and Dnepr stations. This is the deepest metro station in the world. 
122 meters
Tree roots can penetrate to this depth. The tree with the deepest roots is a wild ficus growing at Echo Caves near Ohrigstad, South Africa. This tree is native to South Africa. Its roots go almost 122 meters deep. 
230 meters
The deepest river. This is the Congo - a river in Central Africa. In the lower reaches of the Congo breaks through the South Guinea Highlands in a deep narrow (in some places no more than 300 meters) gorge, forming the Livingston Falls (total drop 270 meters), the depths in this area are 230 meters or more, which makes the Congo the deepest river in the world . 
240 meters
This is the Seikan Tunnel railway tunnel in Japan, 53.85 km long. The tunnel descends to a depth of about 240 meters, 100 meters below the seabed. It is the deepest under the seabed and the second longest (after the Gotthard Base Tunnel) railway tunnel in the world. 
287 meters
Even deeper is the Eiksund road tunnel, laid along the bottom of the Storfjord in the Norwegian province of Møre og Romsdal, connecting the cities of Eiksund and Rjanes. Construction began in 2003, the opening ceremony took place on February 17, 2008, full traffic opened on February 23, 2008. With a length of 7765 m, the tunnel goes to a depth of 287 m below sea level - this is the deepest tunnel in the world. The slope of the road surface reaches 9.6% 
382 meters
Woodingdean is an eastern suburb of Brighton and Hove, located in East Sussex, England. It is notable for the fact that it contains the deepest well in the world, dug by hand between 1858–1862. The depth of the well is 392 meters.
Of course, it doesn't look so picturesque, it's just an illustration. 
603 meters
"Cave of Vertigo" Vrtoglavica in the Julian Alps. It is located on the territory of Slovenia, near the border with Italy). The cave was discovered by a joint Slovenian-Italian group of speleologists in 1996. The cave contains the deepest karst well in the world, its depth is 603 meters.
The North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York can easily fit here (its height is 417 m, and taking into account the antenna installed on the roof - 526.3 m).
If you accidentally fall into this hole, you can reach the bottom in 11 seconds. 
700 meters
33 miners were trapped under the rubble as a result of the collapse of the San Jose mine on August 5, 2010. They were held captive at a depth of 700 meters for more than 2 months and were considered dead for almost 3 weeks. As a result of 40 days of work, a well was drilled to rescue Chilean miners. 
970 meters
This is the largest dug hole in the Earth, from the bottom of which you can still see the sky. The Bingham Canyon Quarry in Utah is one of the largest man-made (man-dug) formations in the world. After more than 100 years of mining, a large crater was formed, 970 meters deep and 4 km wide. This unique canyon was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
The entire Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure ever built, will fit into this quarry at 828 meters. And not only will it fit, but from its “top” there will be more than 140 meters to the surface. 
On April 10, 2013, a giant block of earth broke off and rushed into a huge hole in the artificial Bingham Canyon in Utah. Approximately 65 - 70 million cubic meters of earth thundered along the walls of the mine, reaching speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour. The event was so powerful that it shook the earth - seismic sensors were activated, recording the earthquake. Intensity was measured as 2.5 on the Richter scale. 
1642 meters
Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth. The current maximum depth of the lake is 1642 m. 
1857 meters
The Grand Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Located on the Colorado Plateau, Arizona, USA. Depth - more than 1800 m. 
2199 meters
So we reached the deepest cave in the world. This is the Krubera (Voronya) cave - the only known cave in the world deeper than 2 kilometers. The main entrance to the cave is located at an altitude of about 2250 m above sea level. 
3132 meters
Today, the deepest mine is the Moab Khotsong mine in South Africa, located southwest of Johannesburg. Its depth is a little over 3 kilometers. The elevator takes 4.5 minutes to reach the very bottom, but you can speed up the process: if a person accidentally falls here, the flight to the bottom will take him 25 seconds. 
3600 meters
A living organism was found at this depth. About a hundred years ago, the English scientist Edward Forbes argued that there are no living creatures deeper than 500 meters. But in 2011, nematode worms Halicephalobus mephisto were found in a gold mine in South Africa. The second name for these 0.5 mm creatures is “worm from hell.” 
4500 meters
The deepest mines in the world are located in South Africa: Tau-Tona, Witwatersrand - depth of more than 4500 m, Western Deep Levels Mine - 3900 m (De Beers company), Mponeng - 3800 m. For miners have to work in extreme conditions. The heat reaches 60 °C, and at such depths there is always the danger of water breakthrough and explosions. These mines produce gold. The journey here takes miners about 1 hour.
By the way, from 25 to 50% of the gold mined in the world is obtained from the Witwatersrand deposit. Extraction is carried out, among other things, from the deepest mine in the world, “Tau-Tona” - its depth is more than 4.5 km, the temperature in the workings reaches 52 degrees.
A piece of gold-bearing ore mined at the deposit: 
Let's move on. What follows will be very deep.
10994 meters
The Mariana Trench (or Mariana Trench) is an oceanic deep-sea trench in the western Pacific Ocean, the deepest known on Earth. Named after the nearby Mariana Islands. The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is the Challenger Deep. According to measurements in 2011, its depth is 10,994 m below sea level.
This is very deep. If Everest, 8848 meters high, could be placed here, then there would still be more than 2 km left from its top to the surface.
Yes, there is a place on Earth about which we know much less than about distant space - the mysterious bottom of the ocean. It is believed that world science has not yet really even begun to study it...
At a depth of 11 kilometers. At the bottom, the water pressure reaches 108.6 MPa, which is approximately 1072 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure at the level of the World Ocean. 
12262 meters
We have reached the deepest well in the world. This is the Kola superdeep well. Located in the Murmansk region, 10 kilometers west of the city of Zapolyarny. Unlike other ultra-deep wells that were drilled for oil production or geological exploration, SG-3 was drilled solely for scientific research purposes in the place where the Mohorovicic boundary comes close to the surface of the Earth.
At a depth of five kilometers, the ambient temperature exceeded 70 °C, at seven - 120 °C, and at a depth of 12 kilometers, sensors recorded 220 °C.
Kola superdeep well, 2007: 
The Kola Superdeep served as the source of the urban legend about the “well to hell.” This urban legend has been circulating on the Internet since at least 1997. The legend was first announced in English in 1989 on the American television company Trinity Broadcasting Network, which took the story from a Finnish newspaper report published on April Fool's Day. According to this legend, in the very thickness of the earth, at a depth of 12,000 meters, microphones of scientists recorded screams and moans. The tabloid newspapers write that this is “a voice from the underworld.” The Kola superdeep well began to be called “the road to hell” - every new kilometer drilled brought misfortune to the country.
If you drop something into this hole, it will take 50 seconds before that “something” falls to the bottom.
This is it, the well itself (welded), August 2012: 
12376 meters
The Z-44 Chaivo well, which was drilled in Russia on the shelf of Sakhalin Island, is considered the world's deepest oil well. It goes to a depth of about 13 kilometers - this depth is comparable to the height of 14.5 skyscrapers Burj Khalifa, which remains the tallest in the world. This is the deepest hole that humanity has been able to drill. 
At the moment, this is the deepest place in the world. And it is located only at a depth of about 12.4 km. Is this too much? Let us remember that the average distance to the center of the Earth will be 6371.3 kilometers...
The bottom of the world's oceans is uneven, cut through by gorges whose depth is tens of thousands of meters. The relief was formed millions of years ago due to the movement of tectonic plates - the “shell” of the earth’s crust. Due to their continuous movement, the location and shape of the continents and the ocean floor changed. The deepest ocean on the planet is the Pacific Ocean, which at this stage of technological development cannot be fully explored.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest on the planet. In its western latitudes lie the continents of Australia and Eurasia, in the southern - Antarctica, in the eastern - South and North America. The length of the Pacific Ocean from south to north is almost 16 thousand kilometers, and from west to east - 19 thousand. The area of the ocean together with its seas is 178.684 million kilometers, and the average depth is about 4 kilometers. But there are amazing places in the Pacific Ocean that make it the deepest in the world.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest place in the ocean
This deepest chasm got its name in honor of the nearby Mariana Islands. The depth of the Pacific Ocean in this place is 10 kilometers 994 meters. The deepest point of the trench is called the Challenger Deep. Geographically, the “Abyss” is located 340 km from the southwestern tip of the island of Guam.
If we take Mount Everest for comparison, which, as is known, rises 8848 m above sea level, it can completely disappear under water and there will still be room.
In 2010, an oceanographic expedition from New Hampshire conducted research on the ocean floor in the Mariana Trench area. Scientists have discovered four seamounts, each at least 2.5 kilometers high, crossing the surface of the trench at the point of contact between the Philippine and Pacific lithospheric plates. According to scientists, these ridges were formed about 180 million years ago as a result of the movement of the above-mentioned plates and the gradual creep of the older and heavier Pacific Plate under the Philippine Plate. The maximum depth of the Pacific Ocean was recorded here.
Diving into the abyss
Deep-sea vehicles with three people descended into the depths of the Challenger Deep four times:
- Brussels explorer Jacques Piccard, together with American Navy Lieutenant John Walsh, were the first to dare to look into the face of the abyss. This happened on January 23, 1960. The deepest dive in the world was made on the bathyscaphe Trieste, designed by Auguste Piccard, Jacques' father. This feat, without a doubt, set a record in the world of deep diving. The descent lasted 4 hours 48 minutes, and the ascent lasted 3 hours 15 minutes. The researchers found large flat fish at the bottom of the trench that looked like flounder. The lowest point of the World Ocean was recorded - 10,918 meters. Later, Picard wrote the book “11 thousand meters”, describing all the moments of the dive.
- On May 31, 1995, a deep-sea Japanese probe was launched into the depression, which recorded a depth of 10,911 m and also discovered ocean inhabitants - microorganisms.
- On May 31, 2009, the Nereus automatic apparatus went on reconnaissance and stopped at 10,902 m. It shot a video, took pictures of the bottom landscape and collected soil samples, in which microorganisms were also found.
- Finally, on March 26, 2012, film director James Cameron accomplished the feat of diving solo into the Challenger Deep. Cameron became the third person on Earth to visit the bottom of the World Ocean in its deepest place. The single-seat Deepsea Challenger was equipped with advanced deep-sea imaging equipment and powerful lighting equipment. Filming was carried out in 3G format. The Challenger Deep is featured in James Cameron's National Geographic Channel documentary.
This depression is located at the junction of the Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate. Extends from the Kermadec Trench towards the Tonga Islands. Its length is 860 km and its depth is 10,882 m, which is a record in the Southern Hemisphere and the second deepest on the planet. The Tonga region is notorious for being one of the most active seismic zones.
In 1970, on April 17, during Apollo 13's return to earth, the spent landing stage containing plutonium fell into the Tonga Trench to a depth of 6 km. No attempts were made to remove her from there.
Philippine Trench
The second deepest place in the Pacific Ocean is located in the Philippine Islands. The recorded depth of the depression is 10,540 m. The depression was formed as a result of the collision of granite and basalt layers, the latter, being heavier, was undermined by the granite layer. The process of meeting two lithospheric plates is called subduction, and the place of “meeting” is the subduction zone. In such places, tsunamis are born and earthquakes occur.
The depression runs along the volcanic ridge of the Kuril Islands on the border between Japan and Russia. The length of the trench is 1300 km, and the maximum depth is 10500 m. The depression was formed more than 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period as a result of the collision of two tectonic plates.
It is located near the Kermadec Islands, northeast of New Zealand and in the southwest Pacific Ocean. The trench was first discovered by the Galatea group from Denmark, and the Soviet research vessel Vityaz studied the bottom of the trench in 1958 and recorded a maximum depth of 10,047 m. In 2008, an unknown species of sea slugs was discovered at the bottom of the trench, as well as deep-seated crustaceans long up to 30 cm.
Video: inhabitants of the Mariana Trench
Our blue planet is full of secrets, and we humans strive to comprehend them. We are curious by nature, learning from the past and looking forward to the future. The ocean is the cradle of humanity. When will he reveal his secrets to us? The greatest depth of the Pacific Ocean that is known to scientists - are these figures true, or is there something incomprehensible hidden under the black water?
Which are characterized by the highest pressure and darkness, through which it is almost impossible to see anything. The deepest depressions on Earth, which will be discussed further, have not been fully studied by humans to date.
Mariana Trench
It tops the ranking and is also known as the Mariana Trench. Its location is in the Pacific Ocean, not far from The depth of the fault is 10994 meters, however, according to scientists, this value can vary within 40 meters. The first dive into the Mariana Trench occurred on January 23, 1960. The bathyscaphe, which contained US Navy Lieutenant Joe Walsh and scientist Jacques Piccard, dropped to 10,918 meters. The first explorers claimed that below they saw fish that looked like flounder. However, no photographs were taken. Later, two more dives were carried out. It turned out that the largest depression in the world has mountains at its bottom that reach a height of about 2500 meters.
Tonga Trough
This trench is only slightly inferior to the Mariana trench and has a depth of 10,882 meters. Its characteristic feature is its movement speed, which reaches 25.4 cm per year (while the average value of this indicator is about 2 cm). An interesting fact about this trench is that at a depth of approximately 6 km, the Apollo 13 lunar landing stage is located here, which fell here from space.
Philippine Trench
It is located near the Philippine Islands and takes third place in such a rating as “The deepest depressions on Earth.” The depth of the Philippine Trench is 10,540 meters. This depression was formed as a result of subduction and is not fully studied due to the fact that the Mariana is of much greater interest.
Kermadec
The trench is connected in the northern part with the above-mentioned Tonga and reaches a depth of 10,047 meters. A thorough study of it, which took place at a depth of about seven and a half kilometers, was carried out in 2008. During the research, rare living creatures were discovered, distinguished by their original pink color.
Izu-Bonin Trench
The deepest depressions on Earth were predominantly discovered in the twentieth century. In contrast, the Izu-Bonin Trench, 9810 meters deep, was first discovered by humans at the very end of the nineteenth century. This happened when determining the bottom depth for laying a telephone cable. Later it turned out that the trench is part of a whole chain of depressions in the ocean.
Kuril-Kamchatka Trench
The depth of this depression is 9783 meters. It was discovered during the exploration of the previous trench and has a very small width (59 meters). On the slopes there are many valleys with ledges, terraces and canyons. At the bottom there are depressions separated by rapids. Detailed studies have not yet been carried out due to difficult access.
Puerto Rico Trench
The deepest depressions on Earth are not only in the Pacific Ocean. The Puerto Rico Trench formed on the border of the Caribbean Sea. Its deepest point is located at 8385 meters. The depression differs from others in its relatively high seismic activity, as a result of which underwater eruptions and tsunamis sometimes occur in this place. It should also be noted that the depression is gradually lowering, which is associated with the subsidence of the tectonic North American plate.
From the dark depths of the ocean to some of the highest peaks on Earth, below are twenty-five of the world's vastest, tallest, deepest and tiniest places!
25. The deepest lake is Lake Baikal
This Siberian rift lake is not only the deepest lake on Earth, but it also has the largest volume and contains approximately 20 percent of the fresh water of the entire Earth's surface.
24. The highest mountain is Everest
As you may have suspected, Everest is officially the tallest mountain in the world. But this is only if we start our measurement at sea level...
23. The highest mountain from base to summit is Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea, a volcano on the big island of Hawaii, is more than twice as tall as Everest, measured from the mountain's seabed base to its peak.
22. The point furthest from the center of the Earth is Mount Chimborazo
Due to the Earth's bulge at the equator, the peak of Mount Everest is also not the farthest point from the center of the Earth. That honor belongs to the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.
21. The lowest point on Earth - Challenger Deep
This depression, located nearly 11 kilometers below the ocean's surface, is the deepest point of the already deep Mariana Trench. In fact, Everest would sit comfortably below the surface here.
20. The highest waterfall - Angel Falls
This waterfall in Venezuela is so high that the water sometimes evaporates before reaching the ground.
19. The driest place is the Atacama Desert
In the middle of the Chilean Atacama Desert there is a point where rain has never fallen. Scientists call this region an “absolute desert.”

This mining town, located in Peru, is in the highest inhabited region of the globe. At an altitude higher than the location of La Rinconada, a person simply will not be able to adapt.
17. Highest temperature - Death Valley
With a recorded temperature of nearly 57 degrees Celsius, Death Valley in California has once again become the hottest place on Earth in recent memory.
16. The most remote inhabited place on Earth - Tristan da Cunha
This small archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, located thousands of kilometers from both South Africa and South America, has a population of 271 people. Mail arrives here only a few times a year.
15. The deepest cave - Krubera-Voronya Cave
This cave, located in Abkhazia, is the only known cave in the world whose depth exceeds 2,000 meters.
14. The biggest difference in height is Mount Thor
Mount Thor, located in Canada, has an altitude of 1250 meters and despite its very remote location in the frozen tundra of the northern provinces of Canada, it is a popular climbing destination.
13. Hottest inhabited place - Dallol, Ethiopia
The hottest permanently inhabited region in the world is in Ethiopia. Although these days Dallol has become even less populated and some even say that it has become a ghost town. However, it is also worth noting that there has not been an official census in this region for a long time, so the research is based on previously obtained data.
12. The northernmost point of land on Earth - Kaffeklubben Island
This island, belonging to Greenland, is officially considered the northernmost point of land on Earth. However, there are several slow-moving gravel bars that lie further north.
11. Lowest temperature - Vostok Station, Antarctica 
-89.2°C - This temperature was recorded in East Antarctica and, apart from some new satellite measurements, is still considered the coldest land temperature in history.
10. The deepest ice - Bentley Subglacial Trench
This place is also located in Antarctica, and the depth of the local ice exceeds 2.5 kilometers. In fact, the land on which it rests is well below sea level and is the lowest point on Earth not covered by an ocean.
9. The deepest point measured from ground level - Kola superdeep well
Although it was artificially created, this Russian scientific project tried to get as deep into the earth's crust as possible. The drill reached a depth of more than 12 kilometers.
8. The deepest point made by man - TauTona Mine
This South African mine is the deepest point under the surface of the Earth that a person could fit into. Its depth is almost 4 kilometers.
7. The coldest settlement is Oymyakon, Russia
Temperatures sometimes drop below zero in mid-September and remain there until May. The average temperature in January is -46 °C. The population of the village is less than 500 people.
6. The highest road is the Aucanquilcha mining road.
This mining road was once used by trucks to climb this Chilean volcano to an altitude of over 6,000 meters.
5. Highest mountain pass - Marsimik La, India 
Although the volcanic mountain road we saw in the previous point is technically the highest road in the world, it is a dead end and is no longer in use. In contrast, the Marsimik La Pass, located at 5,582 meters in northern India, is often considered the highest functional road in the world.
4. The highest lake is Lake Titicaca
This lake is located on the border of Peru and Bolivia in the Andes at an altitude of 3,812 meters. There are several unnamed crater lakes around the world that may be located slightly higher.
3. The most remote island - Bouvet Island
This small uninhabited Norwegian island in the South Atlantic Ocean lies between Antarctica and Tristan da Cunha (which, as you may recall, is itself quite remote).
2. The longest river is the Nile
Despite the difficulties in accurately calculating the sources and directions of various rivers, the Nile is generally considered the longest river in the world. Its length is 6,650 kilometers. In ancient times, when water still flowed from Lake Tanganyika, the Nile was 1,500 kilometers longer.
1. The farthest point from the ocean is Xinjiang, China
This region in China is Asia's pole of inaccessibility. This basically means that it is the farthest point on the continent from any ocean.
