What Scientists Found When They Reached The Deepest Place on Earth.

Описание: 11 kilometres down. Deeper than Everest is tall.
In 1960, two men climbed into a metal sphere and sank into complete darkness for five hours. They were heading somewhere scientists said nothing could survive.
No light. Near-freezing temperatures. Pressure that would crush a nuclear submarine like a soda can.
When they finally touched the bottom of the Mariana Trench—the deepest place on Earth—they saw something move.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
Since then, we've sent more people to the Moon than to this place. And every time someone goes down there, they find creatures that shouldn't exist. Single cells the size of footballs. Fish living where fish can't survive. Shrimp that grow 10x
their normal size. This is what happens when you reach the bottom of the world.
