The enigmatic depths of the ocean, where secrets lie hidden and extra ordinary discoveries await, where darkness give to dazzling wonders and ancient secrets await discovery, where extraordinary creature and breathtaking landscapes will leave you spellbound.

The ocean floor is a vast & mysterious place with a diverse range of geological features including underwater mountains deep trenches & vast plains, the bottom of the ocean is just a slice of the hadal zone, which is the area of the ocean that extends from 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) to the deepest parts of the ocean; named after hades, the Greek God of the underworld, and one of the least explored and complex areas of the ocean.

Majority of the research reports of people that dared to explore the deep part of the ocean said the pressure is crushing and asides that it’s so dark in there and there is no way you can see anything around you if you’re without artificial lighting.

Although some of the animals there are said to be bioluminescent, that is they are their own natural lighting while some others are transparent in nature as a way of blending with the pitch darkness of the deep underwater.

According to CNN “So much remains to be explored because reaching the bottom of the ocean is an incredibly difficult task. Deep-sea vessels must be able to navigate intense darkness, pressure, cold temperatures and challenging terrain.”

The giant squid is a species of deep ice dwelling squid in the family archipeuthidae.

It can grow to a tremendous size at around 12-13m for females and 10m for males, from the posterior fins to the top of the two long tentacles, according to Wikipedia. They are mainly carnivores, so they eat meat. Mostly they eat baby octopus, big fish, and baby whales.

What eats them? The perk of being large is that almost nothing can defeat a giant squid asides SPERM WHALES, they are the only known regular predators of giant squids.

The Greenland sharks may be found anywhere between the sea surface and depth of 2,200 meters (about 7,200 feet) and they are one of the largest cartilaginous fishes. They can reach a length of 7 meters (23 feet) and a weight of 1025kg (2260 pounds) when fully grown, but most are between 2 and 4 meters.

There are many species of fish and animals that live at the bottom of the ocean. These creatures have adapted to the extreme conditions of their environment, including the lack of sunlight and the high pressure.

Some other examples of fish that live at the bottom of the ocean include the Anglerfish and the Gulper eel. These fish have adapted to the darkness by developing their own bioluminescence, which they use to attract prey.

Other animals that live at the bottom of the ocean include Sea cucumbers, which are important scavengers that help to keep the ocean floor clean.

Anglerfish are a group of deep-sea predators that are known for their unique appearance and feeding habits. One of the most striking fears of the anglerfish is its jaws, which are capable of expanding to an enormous size in order to swallow a prey whole.

Gulper eels have a similar life span to humans and can live up to 85 years old. However, their age depends on their habitat and the availability of food.

Glass octopuses, Glass squids and other clear seas creatures have evolved to be transparent for various reasons, including camouflage, communication and defense.

They also play an important role in the ecosystem, serving as both predators and prey for other animals.

The deepest known point of the seabed of the earth, The challenger deep. Its depth is measured at 110,902-10,929m by direct measurement from deep diving submersibles and discoveries there have included colorful rocky outcrops and bottom dwelling sea cucumbers.

According to U.S Department of defense, only three people have ever reached the bottom of the ocean and one of them was a u.s navy submariner, The first two did it 59 years ago: Navy Lt. Don Walsh, a submariner, and explorer Jacques Piccard.

“In the Pacific Ocean, somewhere between Guam and the Philippines, lies the Marianas Trench, also known as the Mariana Trench. At 35,814 feet below sea level, its bottom is called the Challenger Deep — the deepest point known on Earth. In fact, to put it into perspective, think about the Titanic, which was found 12,600 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean — nearly 2.4 miles down.The Challenger Deep is nearly three times deeper than that.”

Thomasnet.com Posted that “The bottom of the Challenger Deep at the southern end of the crescent-shaped Mariana Trench isn’t the sort of place most people would choose to spend their vacation. At 35,853 feet at its deepest point, it’s cold 34oF, pitch dark, and exerts a pressure more than 1,071 times that at sea level.

Yet the world’s deepest place exerts a strong pull for explorers, similar in many ways to the magnetic attraction of Mount Everest. Speaking of which, if you were to drop Everest into the Challenger Deep, its peak would be submerged by more than 1.2 miles.”

Victor Vescovo described the bottom of Challenger Deep as “a flat, beige basin covered with a thick layer of silt … chilly, and quiet.” He observed yellow and red rocky outcrops, which were likely bacterial mats or chemical deposits created by chemosynthetic microbes. Life at the bottom included creatures that were small and translucent: Mariana snailfish, supergiant amphipods (shell-less crustaceans).

However, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), more than 80 percent of the ocean remains unexplored. It might seem a rather large number, considering humankind has explored and settled in every other corner of the globe.
