What is the deepest ocean?
The deepest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands. The Mariana Trench reaches a maximum known depth of about 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) at a point known as the Challenger Deep.
To put this depth into perspective, if you were to place Mount Everest (the tallest mountain on Earth) into the Mariana Trench, its peak would still be over 1 mile underwater. The extreme depth of the Mariana Trench makes it one of the most mysterious and least explored parts of the world's oceans.
