The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, roughly seven miles down[2] or 36,000 feet below sea-level.[7] At its bottom, the pressure is over 1,000 atmospheres.[4]
To the Atlanteans, it is known as Harran's Rift,[6] presumably after King Harran, son of Kamuu, founder of the kingdom of Atlantis.
It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, to the east of the Mariana Islands.
