PULLMAN, Wash. – Deep underwater, not too far from Guam, lies a crescent-shaped canyon called the Mariana Trench. It is home to the deepest known spot in the ocean: The Challenger Deep.
That’s what I found out from my friend Ray Lee. He teaches biology at Washington State University and studies animals that live in the deep sea.
A few explorers have made the nearly seven-mile journey to the Challenger Deep. Even though cats aren’t big fans of water, I can imagine what it would be like to go there. We would have to go in a specially designed underwater vehicle, and we’d go through several different ocean zones along the way.
