Multibeam survey reports a 10,984 m maximum sounding
node
A multibeam echosounder survey of the Mariana Trench records a deepest sounding of about 10,984 +/- 25 m. It is the deepest modern acoustic result - and it has never been confirmed by a direct pressure-gauge descent, which is the sharpest single illustration of how much the answer depends on the instrument.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Post-2000 published maximum depths for the Challenger Deep, and the geodetic positions assigned to them, disagree by more than the accompanying stated uncertainties. A 2010 multibeam survey recorded a deepest sounding of 10,984 +/- 25 m, a value not confirmed by any direct pressure-gauge descent.
