23、are known as the hadal zone, taking their name from the underworld of the ancient Greeks:the depth of the Mariana Trench ensures it is perpetually dark, and that temperatures are only just above freezing. Yet we are discovering that if it is an inhospitable space for humans, it is far from deserted.
24、 Four years ago, a live video feed from a remotely operated vessel allowed ordinary viewers to see the abundant, though not very diverse, life to be found down there. The area now enjoys protection, escaping unscathed after it was listed as one of the 27 national monuments that Donald Trump placed u
