How deep does the ocean go? At real scale
From the surface to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (10,935 m): records, animals, wrecks and ocean zones at their real depth.
Remember this
Mount Everest placed upside down in the Challenger Deep would still have 2,086 m of water above it. At the very bottom, the pressure is over 1,102 bar.
