The Mariana Trench, the deepest known point on Earth’s surface, sits about 36,000 feet below sea level — and yet there are living organisms thriving down there, including small white shrimp-like amphipods that have been found with traces of plastic in their digestive systems, in a habitat that almost no human has ever physically reached

The Mariana Trench is, by every available measurement, the deepest point on the surface of the Earth. The deepest part of the trench, called Challenger Deep,...
