Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
Eleven kilometers below the ocean's surface, in the Mariana Trench, is the deepest known part of the sea. More people have been to the moon than to that point. And while it's located in the waters of the Federated States of Micronesia, until 2021, no Micronesians had ever been there. Dr Nicole Yamase became the first Pacific Islander to make the journey down.
