DEEPSEA CHALLENGER
node · earth
A vertically-oriented single-person submersible built in Australia for James Cameron's 2012 solo dive to the Challenger Deep - the first crewed return there since 1960 and the first solo descent. The dive and its accompanying uncrewed landers produced pressure-derived depths of about 10,908 +/- 3 m for the submersible and about 10,918 +/- 3 m for the landers, values notably shallower than the 2010 multibeam maximum. Not a place.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Submersible transects conducted in June 2020 yield a revised Challenger Deep floor depth of 10,935 m (+/- 6 m at 95 percent confidence) below mean sea level. Earlier direct measurements include DEEPSEA CHALLENGER at 10,908 +/- 3 m and its landers at 10,918 +/- 3 m (2012).
