China claims it has discovered the world's largest hole, and it's in one of the most dangerous places on the planet. 1  Jul.  Good news: China claims it has discovered the world's largest hole. On Wednesday, state broadcaster CCTV announced that the newly found dragon's hole, a 984-foot (300-meter) cavern in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, is now the world's largest hole.
If the hole had reached the initial goal of 15,000 meters, temperatures would have reached a projected 300Â°C (572Â°F). When drilling stopped in 1994, the hole was over seven miles deep (12,262 meters), making it by far the deepest hole ever drilled by humankind. The last of the cores to be plucked from from the borehole were dated to be about 2.7 billion years old, or roughly 21 million times older than Coca Cola.
