Scientists have released the first audio recordings taken from the deepest point on Earth’s surface, Challenger Deep, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Filled with strange moans, low rumbles, and the occasional
high-pitched screech, the soundbites below shed rare light on the dark
world that lies 10.9 km (6.7 miles) below the crushing weight of the
Pacific Ocean… and they’re somehow both haunting and beautiful at the
same time.
On the whole, we know very little about what goes on inside the
Mariana Trench, located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean around 322 km
(200 miles) southwest of Guam, mostly because it’s so difficult for us
to get to.
The first audio recordings from the bottom of the Mariana Trench are creepy as hell
