JAMSTEC's Kaiko reaches the Challenger Deep floor

node

The Japanese remotely operated vehicle Kaiko descends to the floor of the Challenger Deep, reporting a depth commonly cited around 10,911 m and returning sediment samples. It demonstrates that robots, not only crewed spheres, can work at full ocean depth - and adds another value to the widening set of published depths.

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