The deepest point on the Earth is Mariana Trench in Pacific ocean. It is about 11 Kms or  36,069 Ft deep. The temperature at the bottom is near freezing about 1 to 4 ⁰C .  The atmospheric pressure at that depth is thousand times of the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

With such harsh conditions in the deepest ocean, it is no wonder that scientists up till now believed that  no life existed there. But now, they have proved themselves wrong.
