Abstract

This article discusses the conditions at the deepest part of the world’s oceans, the Challenger Deep located in the Mariana Trench.  It was found that any creature surviving at this depth would have to withstand 1000 times the surface pressure and exist without light from the Sun as it cannot penetrate to this depth.
