At 35,797 feet, Challenger Deep is the deepest known point in the oceans. It is so deep that, if you were able to place Mount Everest inside of the valley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there would still be 6,811 feet of water separating it from the surface.At just 7,000 feet down, about where the tallest mountain in the world would peak, the pressure becomes so great that whales rely on unique evolutionary traits when hunting for giant squid.
