For the First Time Ever, Scientists Drill Into the Earth’s Rocky Mantle

Credit: Istock.As per a recent report from the Washington Post, scientists have successfully reached Earth's mantle by drilling approximately one mile beneath the ocean floor. This significant accomplishment was made possible by the JOIDES Resolution, an ocean drilling vessel.It is important to clarify that the scientists did not precisely drill into the mantle, and...
