heard about this on the news yesterday, pretty amazing really, 4.5 miles deep!!!!!
what gets me though, is what eats these? they are normally a food source for something, there has to be something down there that is the stuff of legends, but being so deep, i guess it'll be a while til we really know what lives in the darkest crevices

Oh I think we would be naive and big headed to think we know of all the creatures out there, wet or dry...plenty we don't know of as yet...the more we devastate the natural world the more we will find I guess..

Stuff like that always fascinates me, is funny tho that they film one and catch the other. My guess is they planned on a barbecue lunch :)

I think we need to look more at exploring our oceans rather then space :dk:
