The bottom of the ocean is the lowest point of the earth and the farthest man has ever explore. It has been so difficult to go beyond some depth as the Mariana trench is more than 1500 miles deep.

In history, only two people has been able to face the challenge that has ensued different question about life in the deep.

THE JOURNEY TO THE DEEP

In 1960,Jacques Piccard and Navy Lt Din Walsh descended into the deep in a 5 hour journey to know what has been hidden and whether life exist there. As found in my research about their journey, They were unable to get any thing much tangible from it. There was total darkness in the deep and the temperature was a little above freezing.

WHAT WAS FOUND

Jacques mentioned seeing a creature in form of a flat Fish. This rose a lot of controversies on whether fishes could survive at that temperature but the power of adaptation kept people wondering it could be possible but all the conclusion is still under uncertainties.

MORE RESEARCH AFTER

The challenge didn't stop as research kept going day in day out on what the deep could be harbouring. Mainly the aim and objective of scientists is to know the types of micro organisms present and some other things which could lead to breakthrough in biomedical and biotechnology.

With the persistent research by the use of unmanned vehicles as scout ,some new organisms were seen owing from Molluscs to animals with transparent head.

CONCLUSION

The Water covers more than 70% of the Earth and ever since man has been longing to know the secret that lies in the sea depth,nothing much has been acquired which means there are still a lot to be done to discover the miseries hidden beneath the sea.
