The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of Earth's oceans, reaching depths of about 10,984 meters (36,037 feet). It's located in the western Pacific Ocean, east of the Mariana Islands.

The deepest point, Challenger Deep, is more than 2 km (1.2 mi) deeper than Mount Everest is high.


The water pressure at the bottom of the trench is about 1,086 bar (15,750 psi), which is nearly 1,000 times greater than at sea level.

The temperature at the bottom is cold, just a few degrees above freezing (1 to 4 °C or 34 to 39 °F).


The Mariana Trench, despite its extreme pressure and darkness, is home to a variety of organisms adapted to these harsh conditions.

Common inhabitants include sea cucumbers, amphipods (shrimp-like creatures), and xenophyophores.

Other deep-sea residents include various fish species, some of which are translucent or have unique adaptations for the high pressure and darkness.
