Deep Sea Mysteries - Cq

sea life havens
red grouper swim
octopi hide
…coral playgrounds

Mariana
world’s deepest trench
first sightings made
…unknown species



* The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest natural trench in the world. It is a crescent-shaped trough in the Earth's crust averaging about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long and 69 km (43 mi) wide.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 9/8/2019 1:10:00 AM 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 : ) Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/8/2019 1:33:00 PM 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

Pat Adams Date: 9/7/2019 4:12:00 PM Very well written, and I'm sure a winner! I don't know what kind of fish that is but it would scare the crap out of me, if I was there!.....pat Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/8/2019 2:54:00 PM I'd be right behind you as we were swimming away! Someone must know what type of fish that is...

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/7/2019 3:22:00 PM - I must say they are brave ... I would never dare ... but certainly an adventure ... and a lot of beauty - Excellent written, Carolyn - Best wishes in the contest ... have a lovely weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/8/2019 1:38:00 PM I don't know who took the photo above, but it would be great to see more photos of the Mariana Trench. We need to know what's there! Love, carolyn

Rico Leffanta Date: 9/6/2019 4:19:00 PM Well done, Carolyn, but don't let Trump hear about it! Good luck! Aloha! Rico Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/7/2019 2:14:00 PM Indeed, he may want to "buy" the Mariana Trench. LOL You always make me laugh, Rico!

Heidi Sands Date: 9/6/2019 3:36:00 PM Very nice! :) Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/8/2019 1:38:00 PM Thanks, Heidi.

Chris Green Date: 9/6/2019 1:23:00 PM Absolutely beautiful Carolyn. I was aware of this natural formation but your words have made it even more beautiful. Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/7/2019 1:57:00 PM Thanks, Chris. Let me check your page...

Vijay Pandit Date: 9/6/2019 12:57:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/7/2019 1:53:00 PM Because of its depth, we haven't been able to explore the Mariana Trench fully. New species can be found there! Thanks for reading.
