The deepest part of our planet is the Mariana Trench, near Japan and the Philippines. At it's deepest point it reaches 10,924 ft (or 6.78 miles) deep. That is, if you were taken to Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth, and glue them to the lowest point is the trench, it would still be more than 2 km of water on top of it!
Fortunately, scientists have invented special lowWater Research cameras and vehicles that reach out into the cold, dark, high-pressure world of the deep sea. And what are we going to discover is that these dark, deep, freezing water filled with creatures. Go down deep enough, and the animals find they look like aliens from another world, it is the discovery of these strange creatures that science is fun!

Then began the whale watchers marks on the sides of some whales regard as they would with a suction cup that was the size of a dish has been caught! Finally, the corpses of some squid washed up on the coasts of Newfoundland and Squid went from science fiction, science fact! You can have up to 13 meters long, andevil robbers, catching prey with the serrated suction cups on their tentacles, and devoured them with their sharp beaks.
Even if we think we've explored the planet, we've really only scratched the surface. There is a time to explore the whole world under water!
