When it comes to understanding the Earth’s geology, many researchers are just scratching the surface. Literally. With drills and picks and axes.

Includes a great video – read the piece @ Here's What the Earth Sounds Like Six Miles Below Ground - D-brief | DiscoverMagazine.com I'd love to see some of the maps and images it refers to.

Interesting. One has to wonder... What the heck is it? I figured it would be almost silent down there until you start traveling hundreds of miles deep.
