Abstract
The location of the hole to be drilled through the earth's crust to the mantle as part of Project Mohole will probably be in the mid‐Pacific about one hundred miles north northeast of Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. This drilling is one of the major objectives of the project, whose mission is to obtain and study samples of the earth's crust down to and including the unexplored mantle. The choice of site was recently announced jointly by the National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council, and Brown & Root, Inc., the prime contractor for Mohole. The announcement stressed that this is an initial decision subject to change if further information indicates another site would be preferable.
