“Going to the extremes I believe is a natural inclination of man,” he said. Challenger Deep is approximately 10,935 meters (35,876 feet) deep. It lies within a submarine depression called the Puerto Rico Trench, located at the southern edge of the North American Basin, between the Puerto Rico Ridge (north) and the North Antillean Arc (south) it is about 7,000 feet (2,100 m.
Vescovo, who has a naval background, told CNN Travel earlier in 2019 that his expedition was about scientific discovery, but also about testing the limits of human endeavor. The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.S. Milwaukee Depth, deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean, lying at a depth of 27,493 feet (8,380 m) about 100 miles (160 km) northwest of the island of Puerto Rico. Here, the temperature is slightly lower than the freezing. Meanwhile, his excursion to the bottom of the Molloy Trench marked the first manned dive to reach to the bottom of the abyss. Trenches are the deepest part of the oceans and make up about 7 of the total ocean floor relief. It extends past the abyssopelagic zone in parts of the world where that is physically possible this is usually in the form of deep sea trenches and canyons. Vescovo’s trip to the Challenger Deep, at the southern end of the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, back in May, was said to be the deepest manned sea dive ever recorded, at 10,927 meters (35,853 feet). The trenches (hadalpelagic zone) is the deepest part of the ocean. The Indian Ocean’s deepest point is the Java Trench, a. It’s been a record-breaking expedition in more ways than one. In the Atlantic Ocean, the Puerto Rico Trench, which lies directly north of its namesake, plunges more than 27,000 feet below the surface. Vescovo announced this week that he completed his final dive on August 24, 2019, plummeting 5,550 meters (18,208.66 feet) into the Molloy Deep, the lowest point in the icy Arctic ocean, situated some 170 miles west of Svalbard, Norway. The Five Deeps Expedition is being filmed by Atlantic Productions for a five-part Discovery Channel documentary series, DEEP PLANET, that will air in later in 2019. It plummets to an incredible 10.9 kilometers or 7 miles (around 36,200 feet). The expedition reached a maximum depth of 10,928 meters 1 / 35,853 feet deep, 16 meters/52 feet deeper than any previous manned dive. The best-known of all the ocean’s trenches is the Mariana Trench. The 53-year-old financier dove to uncharted depths as part of the Five Deeps Expedition, visiting cavernous chasms in the Pacific, Indian, Southern, Arctic and Atlantic oceans over a period of 10 months. Some of the deepest parts of the ocean include the Kermadec Trench, the Japan Trench, and the Philippine Trench.
What lies in the chasmic depths at the bottom of the world’s seas?Īmerican undersea explorer Victor Vescovo has become the first person to dive to the deepest points of the earth’s five oceans, and he’s now back on dry land to reveal his discoveries.
