Mariana Trench – Oceanic Deepwater Chute in the Western Pacific<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The American explorer reached the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in the ocean, its depth is 11,000 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n

What did the researcher discover?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victor Vescovo, a retired naval officer, was stunned to find something similar to plastic in the deepest point of the ocean. At this time, he was in a machine specially designed to withstand tremendous pressure. After spending four hours under water, he remembered only rubbish. It was a plastic bag and candy wrappers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic waste in the ocean, according to UN estimates, reached<\/a> 100 million tons.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the last three weeks, Vescovo has dived four times into the Mariana Trench to collect various biological samples and forms of rocky soil. He is the third man who descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The last who tried to do this was Canadian film director James Cameron in 2012, and before that, one of the US Navy lieutenants in the 1960s plunged into the hollow. Vescovo dive was the deepest in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

The expedition was watched<\/a> by Atlantic Productions<\/a>, which collected material for a documentary for the Discovery Channel. Work under pressure, poor visibility and low water temperature made it difficult to shoot. Anthony Geffen, creative director of Atlantic Productions, said it was the hardest shot in his experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur team had to pioneer new camera systems that could be mounted on the submersible, operate at up to 10,000m below sea level and work with robotic landers with camera systems that would allow us to film Victor’s submersible on the bottom of the ocean. \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After the completion of the expedition at the end of this year, the team plans to transfer the apparatus to scientific institutions. After, the researchers will be able to use the device in further work.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
