A plan for a 5 km-deep borehole at Reykjanes, Iceland, into the root zone of a black smoker on land
A summary workshop report describing the progress made so far by the Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is presented below. The report provides recommendations concerning technical aspects related to deep drilling, and invites international participation in both the engineering and the scientific...
