Exploring the Depths of the Mariana Trench: A Journey into the Unknown
Mariana trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans and the lowest point on Earth. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean and runs for about 1,550 miles, stretching from the Mariana Islands to Japan. The trench reaches a depth of about 36,000 feet at its lowest point, known as the Challenger Deep, which is named after the HMS Challenger II, a British Royal Navy vessel that conducted the first scientific survey of the trench in the late 19th century.
