Sink the tallest mountain on Earth here, summit first, and its base would still float two kilometres above the floor.
10,935 m · Challenger Deep
Pressure here: 1,100 atmospheres — a small car pressing on every square centimetre of you. Fewer people have stood here than have walked on the Moon. You are not one of them either. But this was cheaper.
