I believe that the deepest hole people made so far is the Tau Tona gold mine in South Africa, and it's less than 3 miles deep. At this depth,
the heat of Hell can be already felt:
Quote:
The mine is so deep that temperatures in the mine can rise to dangerous levels. Air conditioning equipment is used to cool the mine from 55°C [131°F - ed.] down to a more tolerable 28°C [82°F - ed.]. The rock face temperature currently reaches 60°C [140°F - ed.].

So I'm not sure what would be the purpose of digging any deeper, except to provide a direct entrance to Hell?
