June 15, 2012. Mariana Trench. In March of this year, explorer-filmmaker James Cameron completed the deepest sea dive ever using what has been termed a vertical submarine. Named, Deepsea Challenger, the deep-water submarine transcended the Mariana Trench to the deepest point man has ever traveled. National Geographic calls it Earth’s deepest and most alien realm. Here is a fun, colorful and educational chart explaining some of the mysteries and little-known facts about the oceans deepest regions.

Add to that the fact that NASA’s budget for one year of space exploration would fund the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s exploration for the next 1,600 years.
