Located in an arch sweeping to the east and south of the Marina Islands and Guam is the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench.
Running over 2,500 kilometers or 1,200 miles, the very deepest part of the trench is known as Challenger Deep.
At the very bottom of the sea, there is no light, temperatures are almost freezing, and the pressure is enough to crush almost anything that might make it down there.
It is so inhospitable that the number of people who have ever been there is about the number who have walked on the moon.

In the years following the end of the Second World War, the post-war world that many in the West hoped for never materialized.
Their former ally, the Soviet Union, turned from friend to foe. They installed puppet communist governments in all of the countries they occupied when pushing their way to Germany, and now the concern was that the Soviets would try to take over the rest of Europe.
In response, twelve nations in Western Europe and North America joined together in a military alliance, the likes of which hadn’t been seen before in history.
Learn more about NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, how it formed, and how it evolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
