Here is an infographic of the Mariana Trench.
James Cameron recently made a solo dive to the bottom of the Mariana trench in a sub that he had funded for $8 million. The bottom looked like a lunar landscape except for some one inch long shrimp like creatures.
The expedition has headed away to land and will return at some later date for more dives.
