      I don’t know what the deepest is, but there are some extremely deep ocean trenches. I’ve heard of one called the Mariana Trench which is deeper than Mount Everest is high. I find that pretty remarkable.

      And the really cool thing is that we have only really explored about 10% of the sea in total! Still lots of amazing things to find down there.

      Marianas trench is 11km deep i think.

      On Mars there is a canyon that is much much deeper than that.
