Pieter explains that the Northern Cape area presents some of the most challenging conditions in the world. “We drill into some of the hardest rock in the world, with compressive strengths above 500MPa under extreme surface and weather conditions; these drilling machines take a huge hammering. While most machines start to fall apart after only a short time of drilling, the Epiroc drill rigs give us up to 80% availability over many years of operation. Only machines of this exceptional quality will last for 30 000 hours plus.
Paul Woskov, a senior research engineer at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, is using a gyrotron, a specialized radio-frequency wave generator developed for fusion research, to explore how millimeter radio-frequency waves can open holes through hard rock by melting or vaporizing it. Penetrating deep into hard rock is necessary to access virtually limitless geothermal energy resources, to mine precious metals, or explore new options for nuclear waste storage.

Some of them are thriving, others are more inactive and are referred to as “zombies,” but either way, it’s clear that there is a colossal and concealed ecosystem of life hiding underground. The researchers describe the deep biosphere, quite understandably, as a “subterranean Galapagos.”
