Quick Answer

The Mariana Trench lies in the western Pacific Ocean and contains the deepest known point on Earth, nearly 11 kilometres down.

The Full Story

The Mariana Trench is a crescent-shaped canyon in the floor of the western Pacific Ocean, east of the Mariana Islands. Its deepest point, the Challenger Deep, plunges to about 10,935 metres below sea level โ€” deep enough to swallow Mount Everest with more than two kilometres to spare. The pressure at the bottom is over a thousand times that at the surface. Only a handful of people have ever descended there, yet even at those crushing depths, life still survives.
