James Cameron Posts First Ever Video From The Deepest Point In The World [VIDEO]
28 Mar 2012 by Jasmine Stone in Science
This is a pretty cool feat by James Cameron, who just returned from the bottom of the Marianas Trench – the deepest place in the world. To put it in perspective for you, if you took Mount Everest, and turned it upside down, it still wouldn’t be able to touch the bottom, not by about a kilometer. James Cameron had the following to say about his experience:
It was very lunar, a very desolate place, very isolated. My feeling was one of complete isolation from all of humanity. It’s very different than what you imagine. You have to go through it, you have to really experience it.It was absolutely the most remote, isolated place on the planet. I really feel like in one day I’ve been to another planet and come back.
At those depths, the pressure on his ship is enormous – eight tonnes of pressure pressing down against every square inch. This results in all manner of strange sea creatures, and a lot of desolation. Cameron’s descent is but the fourth trip down to the trench in as many decades, and the first to ever return with video.
