    What did we see upon 1st touching bottom, at 10,900+m depth w/in #ChallengerDeep? A BEER BOTTLE! 😫 Further evidence that we MUST as humanity do BETTER by the ocean and for the health of habitats that we ourselves share & ultimately depend on!!! #ThereIsNoPlanetB #DeeperSeaDawn

    Yesterday at #ChallengerDeep had TWO FIRSTS: 1st successful sidescan sonar mapping operation at full-ocean-depth + 1st person of African-descent (any gender) to dive to world's deepest point. I dedicated the dive to these 7 (see thread below ...)
    πŸ“£ Dawn and Victor successfully dove to Challenger Deep last night and safely made it back to the ship! πŸŽ‰ πŸŽ‰ Please join us in congratulating them both on this amazing achievement! @deepseadawn @VictorVescovo @Esri #DeeperSeaDawn
