Scientists prepare for the expedition to the deepest depths in the world
(Reuters) - For the first time, humans will visit the deepest part of each of the five oceans, sinking into the seabed using a two-person vessel designed to withstand intense pressures more than 5.5 miles (9 km) below Of the surface .
The project, known as Five Deeps Expedition, will use a special submersible vehicle that took more than three years to build. It is made of titanium and other special materials that can be submerged in the bottom of the ocean, said Victor Vescovo, an explorer who will pilot the vehicle after it leaves its support boat and descends to the deepest parts of the ocean.
"I really want to push not only the limits of technology and me and my team, but also, hopefully, push humanity a bit in terms of our understanding of our world and show what we can do as a species," Said Vescovo, who has climbed the seven highest mountain peaks in the world and has traveled both to the North Pole and to the South.
The manufacturer of the submersible vehicle, Triton Submarines LLC of Vero Beach, Florida, said on the company's website that it is the only certified submersible to transport humans in dives of 36,000 feet (11,000 meters). Discovery and Science Channel will capture the entire mission of a project known as "Deep Planet" that will be broadcast in 2019.
