Exploration of the Mariana Trench: A new chapter in human history
As of 2019, more people had walked on the Moon than explored the depths of the Mariana Trench, the deepest place in the oceans. This surprising fact reflects how little we know about the depths of our own planet compared to outer space. However, in recent years, there has been a significant change in underwater exploration.
From the Moon to the depths of the ocean
Since 1969, when the first astronauts walked on the Moon, lunar missions have become symbols of human exploration. But, until 2019, only a few expeditions had dared to explore the Mariana Trench, a chasm in the Pacific Ocean that reaches more than 11 kilometers deep.
A change of course: More dives in the Mariana Trench
Starting in 2019, the situation began to change. New technologies and renewed scientific interest have led to an increase in the number of dives in the Mariana Trench. Today, there have been more explorations in these ocean depths than lunar missions, opening a new era in understanding the mysteries of Earth.
The future of underwater exploration
This advance in underwater exploration has not only revealed new details about the Mariana Trench, but has also inspired scientists and explorers to look beyond what is known. The ocean remains a vast unexplored territory, and with each new dive, we discover more about our planet.
