The HMS Challenger Expedition, a pioneering voyage in the 1870s, showed that life exists across the deep ocean by trawling and dredging up creatures from as deep as 8000 meters. Since then, research trawls have netted cutthroat eels, snailfish, and other animals adapted to the cold and pressure.
On August 24, Victor Vescovo and the Five Deeps team completed the final dive, to the Molloy Hole. Situated about 275km west of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, the recorded depth on the solo dive was approximately 5,550m and was the first time any human has been to this spot.
