I had to smile at the
only 100 miles part. The temperature of the rock rises roughly about 1 degree Celsius every 100m. I used to work about 2km underground, and the rock there was already 43 degrees Celsius. I used to work in a bakery when I was a teenager, and going 100 miles down would be like jumping into the oven with the baking bread. Good thing I was still a naive youth when I gobbled up the Pellucidar series.
