> In Finland, the temperature rises by 18 degrees per kilometer.
The geothermal gradient at Ithaca is a bit higher than that.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Finland mostly underlain at fairly shallow depth by hard crystalline rocks that are more expensive to drill through? At Ithaca, there's a 3 km thickness of sedimentary rocks before hitting that basement rock.
