Abstract :
In March 2012, filmmaker and ocean explorer James Cameron became the first man to travel solo, and only the third man ever to descend 11km down into the Challenger Deep, 50 years since Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh dived there in the bathyscaphe Trieste. The voyage of Deepsea Challenger into the deepest known place on Earth was the culmination of seven years of work by Cameron´s design and engineering team.
