The Mariana Trench is the deepest place not only of the world's oceans, but of the entire globe. For clarity, you can compare the Mariana Trench with Mount Everest. If we imagine that the mountain was cut off and placed in a gutter, then there will be another 2,183 meters of water above the top.
The maximum depth of the Mariana Trench (Challenger failure fault) reaches 11,035 meters. The rift is named after a vessel converted from a fishing trawler. Its development took place under the guidance of Jacques Picard. The trench was opened and mapped in 1951 by Jacques Picard and Donald Walsh using the Trieste submersible, which reached a depth of 10,900 meters. And in 1960, Challenger II was dropped.
In the area of the Mariana Trench, there are many living organisms previously unknown to science. Even today, scientists cannot say with certainty that they have fully explored the depths. Nobody knows what else is possible to find in such a spongy place of the ocean.
At such a depth, not only simple bacteria, fish and other strange creatures live, which are even difficult to classify. For example, a fishing fish. It is named so due to a small luminous "ball" above the mouth, which serves as a bait for fish. Huge 1, 5-meter worms, strange jelly-like creatures with several pairs of eyes and these are not all species. A small amount of sludge taken for research from the Challenger sinkhole contained more than 250 species of living organisms.
Do not forget about the fact that sunlight does not penetrate to a depth of more than 150 meters, therefore all living organisms live in pitch darkness at low temperatures and in water with increased salinity and acid balance.
Research continues and will not end soon, and in general, people know about the depths of the sea many times less than about the distant points of space.
