Fly Down into the Marianas Trench

Paul Adams 14 years ago Comments Off 567

It is a bit short, but here is a nice fly through of the Marianas Trench. I wish it was longer, and that they had gone deeper. Of course, they have lighting where there is none in the trench.

This is a flight down into a data visualization of the undersea mountains and trenches of the Pacific Ocean, ending up in the deepest part of the ocean, the Marianas Trench. The “Challenger Deep” is measured at 35,813 feet below the surface, or 10,915 meters. Courtesy of NOAA’s Marine Geology and Geophysics Division.
