The Mariana Trench Shown To Unsettling Scale
March 17th, 2010 § 99 Comments
The Mariana trench is the deepest known part of the ocean at over 11,000 metres. The graphic below shows just how scarily deep that is! Amazingly, a manned descent was actually achieved in 1960, using the steampunk-sounding Bathyscaphe Trieste

my dad told me he used to dive down that far while holding his breath. He showed me many rocks he fetched up.
The ocean(s) is/are the 2nd last bastion of hope next to space – this scale (If accurate) is awesome!
I bet that there are alien cities in the sea, that is why ufo go directly to the seas.
Imagine having an orgy with Ava Devine and Vicky Vette at the bottom of that! Crazy!
Jon, imagine your rotting corpse slowly floating down with all the fish nibbling bits of your decomposing flesh. You would be a skelly when you hit the bottom
Sure is a fucking long way down imagine poor old Jon down there having a fucking orgy with a giant octpussyhe would have more tentacles up his ass than he has cocks up his ass at the gay club
Hi I don’t really like cocks up my ass I prefer them in my mouth !
@Joe: It’s actually i before e except after c, or when sounded as a as in neighbor and weigh… And that’s just a general rule; there are MANY exceptions to it (weird is one of them).
Dan clear off mate, get yerself a girlfriend or summat no one gives a fuck
Gotta love when the grammar police come on a comment board wanting to correct people’s mistakes for them. They haven’t gotten the memo that nobody else cares.. lol
I wonder if the metric vs ft guy marches around doing the goose-step with a big M on his shirt
Love the visuals. Allows my tiny, 1.5 dimensional brain to wrap around these types of things. Thx to whoever shared this
Thanks for your comments Jake, I already have a girlfriend and I will show her what you wrote when we settle down tonight to do our stamp album together. And the other day I kissed her on the lips so I know all about the ” sex thing ” so please leave me alone when I try to help people with their spelling.
listen Dan sorry about picking you up on the correction thing , didn’t mean to be nasty. Oh and by the way there’s more to the sex thing than kissing your girl. Let me give you an idea that tube like thing that you piss with, it hangs down between your legs well you take it and rub it til it gets hard then lift your girlfriends dress up and underneath her panties you will find a slit. Now push your cock into that slit and the rest ” cums ” naturally, hope that helps.
It’s tagged as “creepy”.
Right on, folks!
Heres one for you… If only 10% of the ocean has been mapped… how do they know its only 10%? An estimate? Most likely… but how you can you make an estimate like that if you believe only 10% of the ocean is mapped? In reality you have no fucking idea how much ocean there is. Some people on this earth who claim to be smart and have the answers, are truly just fucking idiots.
Thanks Desmond that’s a good point, you made me laugh there you sexy cunt, I used to have a boy friend called Desmond but I dumped him on account of his tiny willie.
try typing in “the earth top to bottom”
and to think of this in comparison to the universe…

A perfect place to hide a body
Fantastic visualization!
@Desmond
Don’t call someone a “fucking idiot” when you know less about what your talking about then they do.
I’m not sure if 10% is an accurate figure, nor do i care, but it can be very easily measured as such.
Take a map of the world. Use simple math to figure how much of the earth is covered in water (or use google.) Now take the figure for how much of the ocean has already been mapped. (by the way, “mapping” the ocean really just requires you to map the ocean floor, as everything above it is (believe it or not) water.
Now do simple math to figure out how much of the ocean floor has been mapped in comparison to how much of the earth is covered by the ocean.
Some people on this earth who claim to be smart and have the answers, truly do. Try listening to them sometime.
photoshopped!!
You make me sick… This whole thing is disgusting!
wait? Oh crap. Where he hell am I? One second i’m seeing a picture of a girl taking it from a bottlenose dolphin and the next i’m here? This internet is weird.
Ese wey es puto le va al America!
Anything that is compressible by these pressures will be … but we could still trash the place. And, if we don’t actually trigger the 6th great extinction event, we probably will.
I’m betting on the extinction getting here first, though.
A great visualisation. Thanks for sharing.
I zoomed my browser out all the way, and I still couldn’t fit it all on the screen (but it does help even more to give a good idea on how deep it is – great job!)
Apparently, at the bottom of the ocean lies a box ad and a bunch of comments.
anybody notice the difference in scale of the 6ft human and the 350ft mark?
Beautiful comparison. and I also had the same observation as that by Ryan.
And this is why I’m afraid of the ocean!!!
i read yesterday the pacific ocean covers 63,800,000 sq. miles surface
I’m pretty sure you forgot Cthulhu.
If you can’t convert feet or psi then you shouldn’t be allowed to use a pc. Go crawl back under a rock and stay there.
I’m pretty sure… Now, I’m just spitballin’ here… That no matter how hard we try, the bottom of the Marianas Trench will not be “truly” discovered any time soon. /next 30-50 years/ Of course, this is only an opinion/estimate, and probably not anywhere close to accurate.
Wow, I’m very impressed, I can’t even imagine how did somebody went that deep or how do they know all that…
Does anybody know whether or not the yellow submarine has been to theses tremendous depths? Or flipper?

Hey Mitch, R.J. Anderson, and Joe: Chill, man!! It’s really no big deal how you spell something as long as you convey your meaning. It is “i” before “e”, except after “c”, or when sounded like “a” as in neighbor and weigh, and it is NOT a hard and steadfast rule; however, it applies to the majority of cases. It is only a general purpose rule that applies in most cases because there are exceptions to this rule. Now, as far as the bottom of the ocean goes: been there, done that. Who wants to go there again!
Exploring the Marianas Trench has to be the ultimate ‘trip’ on this Planet

Not to harp on the imperial vs. metric system in the US, but technically the metric standards are the standards for measurement. Mendenhall Order; Google it.
The blue whale may be the most impressive creature alive today but the cuviers beaked whale has been known to dive to over 6000 ft!!!!
