Habitat
Minimum recorded depth is 85 m.[2] Maximum recorded depth is 85 m.[2]
gollark: In the arrangement we need?
gollark: We could probably use the TBM to do tunnelling and deploy rails, then deploy rail removers and put in the ice, then run rails again beside the ice strip.
gollark: Oh, wait, we could just actually use rails *and* ice maybe?
gollark: Well, I can construct them *eventually*. And we could use tunnel boring machines, but then someone would have to clear up the rails.
gollark: (well, packed ice)
