Arsenalna  station is located 105.5 meters below the surface, making it the  deepest metro station in the world. If you made a vertical shaft on  earth as deep, you could drop the entire Statue of Liberty into it and  still have more than twelve meters of headroom left to drop other stuff.  To board a subway train at this station, commuters have to take two  seemingly never-ending escalators to the bottom. The journey takes up to  five minutes. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IQpfKTgeeBc/WL13zTQVwuI/AAAAAAABR-E/YMM9fLjA29Y/arsenalna-metro-36.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (The escalator at Arsenalna metro station.) Arsenalna’s  unusual depth is attributed to Kiev's geography. The station entrance  lies at top of a steep valley next to the Dnieper River whose high banks  rise above the rest of the city. Arsenalna’s adjacent station, Dnipro,  lies just above ground level close to the river bank before the metro  line dives into the ground under Dnieper’s high banks. In order to avoid  a steep descent, the Arsenalna station had to be built on the same  level which required the station’s entrance to be at the top of the  banks, more than a hundred meters above. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tN3iVA-DTw0/WL1305aZHOI/AAAAAAABR-I/wgSV0ps8khw/arsenalna-metro-16.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Arsenalna metro station.) <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3717/9583385047_18e9e7d34d_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />(Arsenalna metro station) <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3564/5796671638_7cf71b628a_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  (Arsenalna metro station) The  world’s second deepest metro station is located on Saint Petersburg  Metro, which is one of the deepest metro systems in the world and the  deepest by the average depth of all the stations. The system's deepest  station, Admiralteyskaya, is located 86 meters below  ground. The Saint Petersburg Metro including Admiralteyskaya has some of  the longest escalators in the world, exceeding 130 meters. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Fhj-vabsHgk/WL132KhqMeI/AAAAAAABR-M/NSGl2ave0R4/admiralteyskaya-metro-12.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Admiralteyskaya metro station) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IZQngCdAa5w/WL133VBH88I/AAAAAAABR-Q/2TJzK1HU34w/admiralteyskaya-metro-26.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Escalator at Admiralteyskaya metro station) The former Soviet Union has some of the most deepest underground metros in the world. Park Pobedy,  located on the Moscow Metro, lies 84 meters underground, warranting it  the third position in the ‘list of deepest metro stations in the world’.  The Moscow Metro is also the deepest in Russia, having a maximum depth  of 97 meters. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gbSIm0Oq3Sc/WL134iKKEQI/AAAAAAABR-U/gOFHdVyc6Tc/park-pobedy-12.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Park Pobedy.) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-41zKKqg3Bxo/WL135_IsQ1I/AAAAAAABR-Y/iNjrlF6zCas/park-pobedy-22.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Park Pobedy) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nXdx56U6npQ/WL137De0QkI/AAAAAAABR-c/Xlze-rr5l1I/park-pobedy-32.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Park Pobedy) Yet another contender to the title of the world’s deepest metro system is Pyongyang Metro,  in North Korea’s secretive capital city, with tracks lying at over 110  meters underground. Commuters ride down to the Puhŭng Station—one of  only two that foreigners are allowed entry— on escalators accompanied by  the “sound of revolutionary anthems booming from antique loudspeakers.” The journey takes nearly four minutes. Because  of its depth, the metro stations double as bomb shelters, with blast  doors in place at hallways. The metro is so deep that the temperature of  the platform remains a constant 18°C all year. <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qbHBDVkmOYo/WL1381pkQjI/AAAAAAABR-g/EqOXDNGxpeM/pyongyang-metro-46.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eMHzP1f5SUM/WL13-FhrQiI/AAAAAAABR-k/1_8ehvT0gQ0/pyongyang-metro-35.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Murals of ultra-nationalistic themes decorate walls at stations of Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j8X4pf7GKNw/WL13_JrXsTI/AAAAAAABR-o/JhjV5mWQWVg/pyongyang-metro-59.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Mj8rU_xso9k/WL14AiSq49I/AAAAAAABR-s/TPJT9_IFan4/pyongyang-metro-12.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yRpbybCsXyg/WL14B1HIMpI/AAAAAAABR-w/SQf0JU1lO10/pyongyang-metro-22.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wOlkBVrMkUY/WL14C2O8XpI/AAAAAAABR-0/Wqzr3JymBYU/pyongyang-metro-62.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-thsc9W1HSS4/WL14EaFGlSI/AAAAAAABR-4/Ahlkm5QZZtg/pyongyang-metro-72.jpg?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> (Pyongyang Metro) Other deep stations worth mentioning are: <ul style="text-align: center"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Washington Park in Portland, Oregon, the United States.
