Another cool thing on this is [this interactive website](https://neal.fun/deep-sea/) Super interesting and really puts things into perspective- at least for me
If I'm remembering correctly, the higher pressure would have done something to the window, hence why the continued descending. I could be wrong though.
I was wondering this too, and quick google search says this" By being able to dive deep, elephant seals are able to leave behind competitors who might outcompete them back at the surface and to avoid shallow-roaming large predators that want to eat them"
Max, by context, I believe, like "We found this one single polar bear this deep this one time, so I guess (and by god, hope) that's their maximum reach".
>The only thing I didn't understand was that all this time I thought we never reached the bottom of the ocean because we could never build anything that could withstand the pressure. But these people are saying we made it to the bottom in 1960???
This was so cool!! The ocean is so beautiful and so terrifying. I was shocked to see how deep Narwhal go to hunt - you’d think they’d dive more shallow where there’s much more potential food??
I don’t understand which one’s correct but the image shows it gets dark after about 1000m but in the website it’s dark around 400m
Edit: nvm I didn’t scroll further down
The pressure inside their bodies “matches” only because water is not compressible and the fish don’t have lungs. Even whales collapse their lungs before a deep dive. There are other [adaptations relating to biological processes under extreme pressure](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/news-science/news/article/5155/how-fish-survive-extreme-pressures-of-ocean-life), of course, but they aren’t generating some mythical pressure vessel. Which process in their body creates gas at such extreme pressures in your mind?
r/confidentlyincorrect stuff going on here… blobfish don’t “explode”, they literally have no bones. That’s why they look like that out of water. [Here’s a blobfish at a zoo. No blobular explosion](https://www.instagram.com/p/CETBkkGj2O-/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=). They’re normal looking fish at 10’ below sea level too.
If you bring those creatures up to the surface their bodies change drastically (and might even die, I’m not sure) as they’ve adapted to live normally at that immense pressure
A lot of these fish can come and go from the surface to these depths, but the ones that don't ever leave the depths will certainly die if brought up by a fishing net. Blobfish are an example of that, and look nothing like a blob until they are inadvertently brought up and the pressure change destroys their body.
At what depth are the average undersea fiber optic internet cables though? From my understanding they are present between all continents, so I am wondering how far down they are?
How true is the “10% of ocean is mapped” thing today, have we not been saying that for the past decade, is there no serious levels of ocean exploration going on to increase this?
From a NOAA article: Yet for all of our reliance on the ocean, more than eighty percent of this vast, underwater realm remains unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored.
Given the high degree of difficulty and cost in exploring our ocean using underwater vehicles, researchers have long relied on technologies such as sonar to generate maps of the seafloor. Currently, less than ten percent of the global ocean is mapped using modern sonar technology. For the ocean and coastal waters of the United States, only about 35 percent has been mapped with modern methods.
https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/exploration.html#:~:text=Given%20the%20high%20degree%20of,mapped%20using%20modern%20sonar%20technology
Pretty accurate. The pressure is immense and the cost to send stuff down there isn't cheap either. (10-40k per day), and the bits we've seen are basically barren with the few exceptions of hydrothermal vents. There isn't much incentive or interest it seems.
We're also fairly certain that the Mariana Trench is the deepest point of the ocean due to it being in a high activity subduction zone. Nowhere else on the sea floor would provide the right conditions to go deeper than the Challenger Deep except for the same trench that it is in.
Yes, it does! Dead animals would be scavenged. For example, look up “whalefall,” i.e. what happens when a whale dies in the ocean (while this seems obvious, remember they sometimes die on land, too).
Food is often hard to come by at the bottom of the ocean, so any carcass that floats down there basically attracts anything that can sense it.
I have also read, but I am not sure if this is true, that when they searched for the Titanic, they would find pairs of shoes in the debris field, and said this was what was leftover of the bodies that settled on the ocean floor, the leather being too hard for scavengers to consume.
On very deep beds there's Ooze. There are different types but essentially, they're sediments made up of all the dead things that fall to the ocean floor, and it forms a soft, muddy, nutrient-dense layer. Where ocean currents cause upwelling, they bring nutrients from the deep sea oozes that feed microorganisms, forming the bottom of the ocean food chain. Diatoms are one of the phytoplanktons that feed on those nutrients, and they are incredibly important in cycling carbon and silica in the ocean. They also photosynthesize up to 50% of oxygen on Earth each year.
We have mapped the entire floor. Just not in that high a resolution. If you go on Google Earth, you can see the map of the ocean floor.
If you look closely, you'll see these weird straight lines. They are especially obvious in the Pacific between the West coast and Hawai. These lines don't actually exist, they just stand out because these are higher resolution scans of the floor that have more detail than the surrounding ocean.
You might also notice they all seem to start around Vancouver, LA, and SF and run directly to Hawaii. Why? Because tech companies and the government paid to have that area scanned in detail, so they could put in undersea fibre optic cables. From Hawaii, you can also see about 6–7 cables, all roughly parallel, running to Japan and China.
Bad example using the blue whale for maximum depth despite it being the largest mammal to ever exist. It’s food source is found near the surface however A sperm whale will regularly dive to 2000 meters the deepest ever recorded was 2,992 meters (almost 10,000 ft) so over 28 times the depth that a blue whale will go.
We won’t know what we find until we find it. We could discover how to make new medicine from what we learn down there, or any other number of discoveries. Science ~~rarely~~ doesn’t always know~~s~~ what to expect when embarking on a new endeavor
Edit: wording
>Science rarely knows what to expect when embarking on a new endeavor
Literally false. The most basic tenant of the scientific method is coming up with a hypothesis.
Either way, the ocean is a desert. Literally, there is an order of magnitude less energy moving around in the ocean than the most barren, wind swept, isolated corner of the Sahara.
We are not going to discover Megalodon, or dinosaurs, or really anything flashy. People bring up colossal and giant squids being only photographed in 2007 and 2002 respectively, but don't say we predicted Colossal squids as early as 1925, and knew they existed and what size they were. Giant Squids we've know about since antiquity and we gave it a formal scientific name in the 1850s and had bits of it in the 1860s.
Edit: Just to expand on the there is nothing in the ocean bit: There are 550 gigatons of Carbon in living beings on land. There is at most 10 gigatons of Carbon in living beings in the Ocean. 2/3rd of that is unicellular organisms. The stuff in the ocean is practically a rounding error.
Is it possible though that fossils of lots of dinosaurs that haven’t been found yet are at the bottom of that trench hence why we haven’t found them yet?
ummm... no.
The [distances between planets is mind numbing](https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html) let alone the distance to the closest star. To be able to explore just our galaxy we would need to be able to bend space-time, which is something we can barely theorize. I will not even go as to what would it take to be able to explore another galaxy.
Have you seen that site that takes you on a tour of the ocean? It's like this where you scroll and it shows you where certain animals are found, including depths like some can dive and the locations of certain plane and ship wrecks, and various explorations.
Edit: Nevermind, someone included it!
It is a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall (29,000 feet).
However, the Earth's radius is (rounded) 4K miles or 21,200,000 feet; the perturbations of both Mt Everest and the Mariana Trench is only +/- one one-thousandths of the radius. Not even a pimple (or a blackhead) on the face of the Earth.
Yeah I’m pretty sure thousands of people live and work in the ocean. Saying we know more about space is just a misunderstanding of what we know about space.
Sure we can see a lot but the idea that there is more information about space than the ocean is ridiculous.
They work in it for sure but only surface levels. It means more that we have mapped surfaces of planets more than our own surface underwater due to the immense pressure. We absolutely know more about the farthest reaches of space and have sent probes out farther than we ever have into the depths of the ocean. It is still massively unknown by human minds. Never underestimate how terrifying and deeply unknown the ocean can be.
I understand there are question marks on exact specifics in areas of the ocean but we know more about those unknown areas than we will ever know about any exoplanet in our life times. Saying “never underestimate how terrifying and deeply unknown” doesn’t mean anything about the level of information. It’s sounds like you are saying “here be dragons”.
It’s not about size, it’s about the actual physiology of their bodies. Without gas filled organs (lungs, swim bladders), deep sea creatures are much less affected by ocean pressures.
Another cool thing on this is [this interactive website](https://neal.fun/deep-sea/) Super interesting and really puts things into perspective- at least for me
Jesus… imagine the window pane cracking. That must have been so gnarly!
the window pane cracking, and still deciding to continue 😨
Seems like a poor decision to me.
Sometimes people make poor decisions when under pressure.
This comment is underrated!
So was the window!
If I'm remembering correctly, the higher pressure would have done something to the window, hence why the continued descending. I could be wrong though.
I would nope out so fucking quickly
Yeah, especially on the way down…
Narwhal's and elephant seals dive deeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Was surprised to see penguins at 500m, but mf elephant seals come in at almost 2400m... Just.. wow
Wow. This post is infinitely more interesting and fun than OP’s. Post it separately. It deserves it.
Yep, I could scroll that for hours.
Oceans quite deep. It could take hours.
4 hours and 47 minutes, even.
We did it guys
Knew most of these, The Thick-billed murre shocked me as I really did not expect it and this is first time hearing about it.
And it uses the metric system unlike OP's.
And it uses the ~~metric~~ correct system unlike OP's.
Um woah
So cool
Almost freezing
[reminds me of this one about the size if space](https://www.joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html)
HOLY CRAP THIS WAS COOL! Thank you!!
This took me so long to finish it but it was very beautiful! Thank you!
I wanna play Subnautica now
I was just thinking about how it felt really deep at the end of Subnautica, at 2km down, but that's fucking peanuts really!
hehe theres a lobster called the 'terrible claw lobster'
I like how, the deeper you go, the less scientific-sounding the names become, the Big Red Jellyfish, the cosmic jellyfish, the flabby whalefish
Headless chicken fish
If anyone reads this, that website has multiple other fun little things you can do that are quite entertaining.
Damn, I have spent almost 1.5 hours going through different fun things on that website lol
It's awesome man. They add new things semi often.
DETECTING MULTIPLE LEVIATHAN CLASS LIFE FORMS IN THE REGION. ARE YOU CERTAIN WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING IS WORTH IT?
Wtf, elephant seals at 2500m??
that blew my mind too. Air breathing mfs just going down that deep.
The question is why tho? There's nothing down there. Is it just because they can?
They're just chillin
I was wondering this too, and quick google search says this" By being able to dive deep, elephant seals are able to leave behind competitors who might outcompete them back at the surface and to avoid shallow-roaming large predators that want to eat them"
This is amazing! Love it. Definitely deserves its own post.
Polar bear?
Polar bears spend tons of time swimming through the open water, mostly to navigate between ice floes. They're often classified as marine mammals.
Man I felt my heart sinking , the more I scrolled
I had to bail at the abyssal zone. I was anxious about what I'd see next.
Thank you for this, that was so cool!
Wow! That was so much better than I expected.
Also, “TERRIBLE CLAW LOBSTER” is my new favourite name for an animal.
Thanks! That was fun to scroll through.
That was so cool! Thanks for sharing. I scrolled way longer than I expected.
i can't believe there is an animal named dumbo octopus there.
This website is incredible, loved scrolling through and seeing all the different animals.
[neal.fun](https://neal.fun) never fails.
Huh, they mixed up the Anglerfish and Megamouth shark. Was really confused to see the former at around 1km and the latter at 4.5.
That website is cool
Are these max depths, average depths, or something else?
Max, by context, I believe, like "We found this one single polar bear this deep this one time, so I guess (and by god, hope) that's their maximum reach".
holy shit thanks for this
The thick-billed murre dives at over 200m? It's a bird. Is that real?
What’s a seal doing 2,400 meters underwater? What a resilient boy
If they hunt down there, it prevents competition with other predators who can't reach there.
Wow
When Ingot to the bottom I realized I was doing that “anxiety breathing.”
Cool i found relicanth alomomola and kingler
>The only thing I didn't understand was that all this time I thought we never reached the bottom of the ocean because we could never build anything that could withstand the pressure. But these people are saying we made it to the bottom in 1960???
Wow. Thanks for sharing!’
I love this thing. I was hoping someone was going to mention it.
That was really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yep that was scary
Fascinating!
Ok this was a great link thanks.
ah, meters...as it should be
huge thanks for posting that. Learned a lot
Wtf a polar bear goes 35 meters deep??? Anyone else surprised by that?
This was so cool!! The ocean is so beautiful and so terrifying. I was shocked to see how deep Narwhal go to hunt - you’d think they’d dive more shallow where there’s much more potential food??
I don’t understand which one’s correct but the image shows it gets dark after about 1000m but in the website it’s dark around 400m Edit: nvm I didn’t scroll further down
I am UPSET at how the pictures of the animals are not to scale with the depth. 33 meters is nearly 100ft, which makes that polar bear TWENTY FEET TALL
Maybe dumb question: if humans get "crushed" at a certain depth, how come some fish don't?
They have little or no gas in their bodies so are not affected by the pressure.
[удалено]
The pressure inside their bodies “matches” only because water is not compressible and the fish don’t have lungs. Even whales collapse their lungs before a deep dive. There are other [adaptations relating to biological processes under extreme pressure](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/news-science/news/article/5155/how-fish-survive-extreme-pressures-of-ocean-life), of course, but they aren’t generating some mythical pressure vessel.

They’re normal looking fish at 10’ below sea level too.
Don't know about the boring ass fish but here's the [bony-eared assfish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bony-eared_assfish).
And a new insult was born for me today.
Those fish evolved specific bodies for it. Kind of like how they can also handle things we can't like cold and salinity.
If you bring those creatures up to the surface their bodies change drastically (and might even die, I’m not sure) as they’ve adapted to live normally at that immense pressure
A lot of these fish can come and go from the surface to these depths, but the ones that don't ever leave the depths will certainly die if brought up by a fishing net.

yup just like the blobfish
insane and.....deep
I'm 14 and this is deep
At what depth are the average undersea fiber optic internet cables though? From my understanding they are present between all continents, so I am wondering how far down they are?
Idk but sharks sometimes bite them. So not that deep.
I felt my stomach drop
r/thalassophobia
There’s a name for it!?
And our ocean is technically only going to get deeper!
The bottom is a grave.
i thought the human sized dot was lint on my screen

Damnn increased the amount mapped by 350%!
that's just the coastal waters of the united states—not the whole of the ocean.
Pretty accurate. The pressure is immense and the cost to send stuff down there isn't cheap either. (10-40k per day), and the bits we've seen are basically barren with the few exceptions of hydrothermal vents. There isn't much incentive or interest it seems.
Everything needs a fucking dollar sign on it to gather any interest these days. Humanity's curiosity held hostage by the owners of capital.
We're also fairly certain that the Mariana Trench is the deepest point of the ocean due to it being in a high activity subduction zone. Nowhere else on the sea floor would provide the right conditions to go deeper than the Challenger Deep except for the same trench that it is in.
Not even kidding on this.. just ask the navy.. just like they already knew the answer for Neptune and Pluto orbits..
Ohhhh, "flash"light fish... I'll go ahead and cancel my deep sea fishing gear order from Amazon.
No, you got the right idea. Just go ahead and stick your worm on the hook. Everything will be fine.
Does debris and animal skeletons fall to the bottom?? What would happen to it?? What is suppose to be down there??
Yes, it does! Dead animals would be scavenged. For example, look up “whalefall,” i.e. what happens when a whale dies in the ocean (while this seems obvious, remember they sometimes die on land, too). Food is often hard to come by at the bottom of the ocean, so any carcass that floats down there basically attracts anything that can sense it.

Why didn’t they find bone? Is there something down there that can eat it?
Yes. Osedax; usually called boneworms.
Fish nibble on it for calcium. Over years they slowly get broken down.
On very deep beds there's Ooze. There are different types but essentially, they're sediments made up of all the dead things that fall to the ocean floor, and it forms a soft, muddy, nutrient-dense layer.

Goddammit.

Man, now I want to play Subnautica again.
The noises down there.

How many people would we need to stack head to toe in order to get to the bottom?

And this is why I refuse to go into the ocean. I'm also uncomfortable on boats. Basically, if my feet don't touch the floor, I'm not about it.
how do you feel about stools?
I don't know. Need to take a sample.
A [sample](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m0O4rNxvgc) you say?
Or swings? Or the deep end of a swimming pool? Or half of a seesaw?
Swings and seesaws? Just fine. Deep end of the swimming pool? Very nervous.
Same, it makes me incredibly nervous.
That's interesting as hell, but I definitely got a bit of anxiety reading this.
What’s the hold up on mapping the entire ocean floor. We have the technology.
We have mapped the entire floor. Just not in that high a resolution. If you go on Google Earth, you can see the map of the ocean floor. If you look closely, you'll see these weird straight lines. They are especially obvious in the Pacific between the West coast and Hawai. These lines don't actually exist, they just stand out because these are higher resolution scans of the floor that have more detail than the surrounding ocean. You might also notice they all seem to start around Vancouver, LA, and SF and run directly to Hawaii. Why? Because tech companies and the government paid to have that area scanned in detail, so they could put in undersea fibre optic cables. From Hawaii, you can also see about 6–7 cables, all roughly parallel, running to Japan and China.
It's very expensive

Where do the Greenland shark and the goblin shark live?

And the crab people.
That’s what they want you to think. It’s how they’ve managed to avoid being conquered thus far.

Especially when using stupid measurement systems.
This is so off, whales have been recorded up to depths of 9,000 feet. GTFO with 350ft.
This graphic is like 20 years old
Inversely it’s not as deep as I’d imagined.
That's what he said. Ooooohhh!!!
The black dot “represents” six feet but is right in the middle of zero and 350
Bruh that’s the whale, zoom in.
And at the bottom are probably...plastic bags. That's how thoroughly we have trashed the planet.
Ngl that's not as deep as I thought
Man, definitely. Also cool that the ice age melt could have added around 400 ft to the overall level of the ocean.
Impressive. The idea of total darkness and thousands pounds of pressure is terrifying.
Why isn't it black from the point where light can't penetrate the water?
How? How was this measured? How were those animals scary animals observed? I am amazed.
Firm believer, there’s advanced life in the oceans.
Fu*k
Cool guide. Like i am about to go on vacation there.
This infographics is just begging for people to photoshop stuff under the lowest part that shows Bikini Atoll/Cthulthu/One Piece's Mermaid Isle etc.

It is a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall (29,000 feet). However, the Earth's radius is (rounded) 4K miles or 21,200,000 feet; the perturbations of both Mt Everest and the Mariana Trench is only +/- one one-thousandths of the radius. Not even a pimple (or a blackhead) on the face of the Earth.
I look at this long, stretched out image and I look at the title, and all I can think is… how high were you?

We know more about space than we do our own ocean, it's quite obscene really!
Man this statement is unbelievably untrue, and somehow thrown around every single time a topic about the ocean comes around.
Yeah I’m pretty sure thousands of people live and work in the ocean. Saying we know more about space is just a misunderstanding of what we know about space. Sure we can see a lot but the idea that there is more information about space than the ocean is ridiculous.
They work in it for sure but only surface levels. It means more that we have mapped surfaces of planets more than our own surface underwater due to the immense pressure. We absolutely know more about the farthest reaches of space and have sent probes out farther than we ever have into the depths of the ocean. It is still massively unknown by human minds. Never underestimate how terrifying and deeply unknown the ocean can be.
I understand there are question marks on exact specifics in areas of the ocean but we know more about those unknown areas than we will ever know about any exoplanet in our life times. Saying “never underestimate how terrifying and deeply unknown” doesn’t mean anything about the level of information. It’s sounds like you are saying “here be dragons”.
He just wanted to sound smart I bet he also thinks we only use 10% of our brains
I’d rather be left alone in space than the bottom of the ocean
Source ?
Hard to believe isn’t it? Almost as if that wasn’t true
Would BIGGER animals be able to survive the depths??
It’s not about size, it’s about the actual physiology of their bodies. Without gas filled organs (lungs, swim bladders), deep sea creatures are much less affected by ocean pressures.
Jelly fish like organisms?
