Welcome to Boulby Underground Laboratory!🧪

It’s quite a journey to get 1.1km underground - but wow, is it worth it.

We were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour with the brilliant Jonny, the lab’s engagement officer💫

Curious about the projects happening deep below ground? Watch out for our chat with Jonny about the RESOURCE project, exploring how renewable energy could be stored in salt caverns.

What part of the mine do you most want to visit?👀
