What a wonderful entry for this contest Carolyn! It is sure to impress. Your photo is also mind blowing! I wouldn't stick around to take a photo! We have so much more to explore on this earth. I know of the trench and enjoyed reading your information. Thank you. xxoo : )

It's been hard for scientists to build a special type of submarine that can dive to great depths. Wouldn't it be something if there were prehistoric creatures living there? (I wouldn't stay for a photo either!) Thanks for reading, Carolyn

I'd be right behind you as we were swimming away! Someone must know what type of fish that is...

Sounds like a nature's paradise for sea life..great Haiku (I know modified according to contest rules) you wrote, Carolyn. Thank you for the footnote--I had no clue. All the best for a TOP win.

Because of its depth, we haven't been able to explore the Mariana Trench fully. New species can be found there! Thanks for reading.
