The ocean depths still remain a largely unexplored part of the Earth, and form a relatively undiscovered domain. Scientific deep-sea exploration can be said to have begun when French scientist Pierre-Simon Laplace investigated the average depth of the Atlantic Ocean by observing tidal motions registered on Brazilian and African coasts circa the ...
Due to recent scientific advancements and increased deep-sea expeditions, the Ipnops genus now divided into three species (I.agassizi, I.meadi, I.murrayi) based on geographic location. Most information on Ipnops species has been collected via deep-sea expeditions, the most prominent being HMS Challenger (1878), “ Galathea ”(1950–52), and ...
There is a small lake at the bottom. Below the surface, the abyss was mapped to a depth of −170 metres (−560 ft) (Pavel Říha, 2005), followed by a dive to a depth of −181 metres (−594 ft) (Starnawski, 2000) and a 21 June 2012 dive to a depth of −217 metres (−712 ft) (Starnawski with a team of six Czech and Polish divers).
What are the hidden depths I might find at Lake Ohrid? Simon Calder. May 14, 2024 at 1:00 AM. The lake is shared between North Macedonia, with 60 per cent of shoreline, and Albania (Getty)
This ocean depth spans from the edge of the continental shelf down to the top of the abyssal zone, and along continental slope depths. [2] [4] The bathymetry of the bathypelagic zone consists of limited areas where the seafloor is in this depth range along the deepest parts of the continental margins, as well as seamounts and mid-ocean ridges.

Historically, the hadal zone was not recognized as distinct from the abyssal zone, although the deepest sections were sometimes called "ultra-abyssal".During the early 1950s, the Danish Galathea II and Soviet Vityaz expeditions separately discovered a distinct shift in the life at depths of 6,000–7,000 m (20,000–23,000 ft) not recognized by the broad definition of the abyssal zone.
The Dweller of the Depths, Lord of the Things Which Dwell Beneath the Surface: A gigantic, amoebic, glowing, and multihued gelatinous mass living within the dark depths of Earth. Yorith The Oldest Dreamer: A huge crystalline-being residing in the seas of the ocean planet Yilla. Its hypnotic abilities force those spacefarers, who stray too ...
Elstead has invented an apparatus by which a person can travel to great depths and observe the life on the sea bed. It is a steel sphere, about nine feet in diameter, intended to withstand immense pressure. Weights attached to the sphere by a cord take it to the sea bed.
