The bottom of the ocean is a cold and dark place. The Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean

is the deepest place in the world. It is almost 11 kilometres below sea-level. In 1960, Jacques Piccard and Dan Walsh were the first people to go down to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. It is impossible for humans to dive so deep under the sea because there is too much pressure. So Piccard and Walsh went to the bottom in a special submarine. The third person to go down to the Marianas Trench was a film director James Cameron in 2012. Nobody else has been there since then. In technical terms, the deep sea begins from 200 metres below sea-level. The pressure is 20 times greater than the pressure on the surface. At 1000 metres below sea-level, it is completely dark. At ten kilometres below the surface, the pressure is 1000 times greater than the pressure on the surface. But somehow, sea creatures manage to live there. Many of them survive by eating bits of food that fall from the surface.
