“Voyage to the Abyss: Mind-Blowing Simulation Reveals Unimaginable Depths of Our Oceans!”

Did you know that the ocean’s deepest point, known as Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, plummets a staggering 10,935 meters (that’s about 35,876 feet) into the abyss? While this fact alone is hard to fathom, an exciting new 3D animation shared by the YouTube channel MetaBallStudios truly brings this depth to life—and boy, does it leave viewers jaw-dropped! Imagine standing at that icy precipice, feeling like a sailboat on a saucer of soup, and realizing you’re actually closer to a jet cruising overhead than to the floor of that underwater canyon. One viewer put it perfectly, stating the profound depths are so overwhelming it’s like floating over a vast, terrifying void. For anyone curious about what really lies beneath those waves, that animation isn’t just fascinating; it’s an absolute masterclass in both storytelling and oceanography. Curious what all the fuss is about? Buckle up and LEARN MORE!

To find out that the deepest known point in the ocean is around 10,935 meters (35,876 feet), frankly, isn’t that interesting.

However, viewers have been left stunned after YouTube channel MetaBallStudios shared a 3D animation of the deepest part of the ocean, using the depth of different lakes and seas.

One person called the video ‘an absolute masterclass in cinema storytelling’ as it demonstrates the deepest known point located in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.

Watch below:

Called ‘Challenger Deep’, it sits in a long and narrow area which is deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

For context, the peak of Mount Everest is around 8,848 meters (29,026 feet) above sea level.

One viewer commented: “The deepness is scary. Imagine going out over the deepest point of the Mariana Trench and jumping into the water and just floating for a few minutes.

“Hell no. You are closer to an airliner flying above you than you are to the bottom below you.”

“The human mind really isn’t built to be able to comprehend these kinds of numbers very easily, but your presentations bring it all into perspective,” a second penned.

“When I first heard the deepest part of the ocean is 11km deep it didn’t seem like much,” a third added.

“But when I started watching videos about the ocean, the pressure, the unusual species, it kept getting terrifying. An 11km straight dept into nothing but water is actually unimaginable.”

Journalist James Nestor, who is the author of ‘Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves’, explained in his 2014 book what it’s really like to be so deep in the water.

“At three hundred feet, we are profoundly changed. The pressure at these depths is nine times that of the surface. The organs collapse,” he wrote.

“The heart beats at a quarter of its normal rate, slower than the rate of a person in a coma. Senses disappear.

“The brain enters a dream state. At six hundred feet down, the ocean’s pressure—some eighteen times that of the surface—is too extreme for most human bodies to withstand.

“Few freedivers have ever attempted dives to this depth; fewer have survived. Where humans can’t go, other animals can.

“Sharks, which can dive below six hundred and fifty feet, and much deeper, rely on senses beyond the ones we know.

“Among them is magnetoreception, an attunement to the magnetic pulses of the Earth’s molten core.”

He noted that ‘eight hundred feet down appears to be the absolute limit of the human body’.
