Amazing images of the world's deepest abyss in the Pacific Ocean - DS 74

We will be surprised when the Challenger abyss is located nearly 11 km below the ocean, with a pressure of 1,000 times on land but there are still many living things that exist.

The Challenger Deep is the deepest known point in the Earth's seabed hydrosphere (the oceans), with a depth of 10,898 to 10,916 m (35,755 to 35,814 ft) by direct measurement from submersibles and slightly more by sonar bathymetry. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, at the southern end of the Mariana Trench near the Mariana Islands group.

The Challenger Deep is a relatively small slot-shaped depression in the bottom of a considerably larger crescent-shaped oceanic trench, which itself is an unusually deep feature in the ocean floor.

In November 2016 sonar mapping of the Challenger Deep area was conducted by the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)/GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel aboard RV Sonne.

The high water pressure at this depth makes designing and operating exploratory craft difficult. Only four descents have ever been achieved. The first descent by any vehicle was by the manned bathyscaphe Trieste in 1960. This was followed by the unmanned ROVs Kaikō in 1995 and Nereus in 2009.

Enjoy.
