James Cameron to dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (6 photos)
Recently, a famous Hollywood film director James Cameron has safely got up from the depths of the Mariana Trench. A few hours bathyscaphe Deep Sea Challenger, which the filmmaker managed alone, spent at a depth of 11 kilometers in the so-called Challenger Abyss - the deepest point of the globe. Cameron became the third person in history who visited the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and the first - to make it alone.

The most famous - the study of the remains of the "Titanic" and dive into the depths of Lake Baikal. In both cases, we used the Russian bathyscaphe "Mir".
