Kaiko full-ocean-depth ROV operations at the Challenger Deep

evidence

In March 1995 the ROV Kaiko reached the floor of the Challenger Deep — the second vehicle ever to do so and the first since Trieste in 1960 — with a maximum depth on that dive reported as 10,911.4 m, one value in a cluster of published figures that do not agree. Kaiko dived the Challenger Deep more than twenty times before its secondary cable parted at 4,675 m on 29 May 2003 and the vehicle was lost. V55 verification basis: the programme records and the ISOPE loss papers were retrieved in summary rather than read in full — this session has no direct network access to jamstec.go.jp.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
