The Mariana Trench

The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean, reaching nearly 36,000 feet deep. The pressure at the bottom is over 1,000 times sea level pressure. Despite these extreme conditions, life exists there, including fish, shrimp-like amphipods, and mysterious microbes.

If Mount Everest were placed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it would still be covered by over a mile of water!
