MARIANA TRENCH — An American undersea explorer found plastic garbage littering the ocean floor while breaking the record for deepest ever manned sea dive. <br />According to CNN, Victor Vescovo dove 10,927 meters—or 35,853 feet—to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the southern end of the Mariana Trench, as part of a mission to chart the deepest depths of the planet. <br />According to BBC, Vescovo and his team made five dives to the bottom of the trench during the expedition. <br /><br />They discovered amazing sea creatures, but sadly also found a plastic bag and candy wrappers. <br />BBC reports that other expeditions using landers have also found plastic pollution lurking in the murky depths. <br />The researchers now plan to test some of the creatures they collected at the bottom of the trench to see if they contain microplastics.
