That’s a bit out of date.
Modern thinking suggests more of a parabolic dish with a glass lid.

How far is the mountain from the edge of the world? 
Not really... The same problems that govern extremely deep sea diving generally come into play at the center of the earth -- with the addition of the dilemmas that drilling that deeply add to the mix. Also, that mantle/magma thing is a bear, eh?
Anyway, we're more likely to get to the deepest parts of the sea first since we don't need an insane drilling rig to get there. Also, we don't have to deal with that 2k+ degree heat...

Windchill mentioned as -73c
Water at 73c hurts your hand from being too hot
Water at 0c hurts your hand from being too cold (after a while)

Windchill applies to bare skin. He hopefully did not have too much ( in other words any ) skin exposed.Windchill mentioned as -73c

I imagine it would still be a touch brisk even if you were wearing the nice wooly cardigan your gran knitted you.
(they mentioned 'instant frostbite' at that temperature so I guess their grans knitted them mittens and balaclava helmets too
)

What "bad advice"? I seriously doubt if you have ever been exposed to much in the way of cold temperatures.

Yes, keeping covered up is a good idea. Growing up I experienced -50 F (-45 C) windchill quite often. And the coldest temperature without windchill I ever experienced was -29 F (-34 C).I imagine it would still be a touch brisk even if you were wearing the nice wooly cardigan your gran knitted you.

One time I was outside with my telescope, looking at galaxies and other fuzzies. It was -25F.
That was COLD, but the viewing was superb!

You, don't actually think clothing rated at say -1 would keep you safe at zero with say a -10 windchill? Do you!
Oh and I've been on the BBC telling people how to survive extreme cold on a minimal budget
They grow em tough n Cumbria

Did your eyeball get stuck to the telescope?
No, but I did have difficulties with frost forming on the lens from moisture from my eye.
A tube currents took a while to calm down.
