James Cameron in the Mariana Trench

The director James Cameron has completed its journey in the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on earth, at 11 thousand feet below sea level. Cameron for his company used a special submarine called 'Deepsea Challenger', the design of which had contributed. The director of 'Titanic' and 'Avatar', a great lover of dives, has explored and filmed the Pit, located about 320 kilometers southwest of the island of Guam in the Pacific. Cameron, Stephanie Montgomery told the National Geographic Society, is back on the surface in the early hours of the morning Italian. He spent about three hours down the pit, although he had planned to stay there for six.
"Cameron has collected samples for research in marine biology, microbiology, astrobiology, marine geology and geophysics," has informed the team of National Geographic. The director also took pictures and filmed videos, but it is unclear when the images will be disseminated. The National Geographic said that it is preparing a movie in 3-D. The journey to the deepest point of the earth lasted two hours and 36 minutes. The return, however, was 70 minutes faster than expected. A helicopter saw the submarine to surface and director of a crane brought him back on board a ship. At the moment it is not known how he feels the 57enne Cameron after shipment. On the ship he was present with a team of doctors. Before departure, Dr. Joe MacInnis, an old friend of the director, had told National Geographic News: "Jim will be a bit 'stiff and sore because of the narrow stance, but it's really in good shape for his age and then I no appearance problem. "
The size of the Mariana Trench is difficult to imagine, is 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and more than 1.5 km deeper than the height of Mount Everest. One of the risks of diving so deep is the extreme water pressure. A 11 km below the surface the pressure is three suv sitting on a toe.


"I can not wait to share everything with you," says James Cameron, director of Titanic and Avatar that has come down with a submersible - or rather, "a special underwater" - into the Marianas Trench, the deepest point in the seas the world: "Tap the bottom has never been so beautiful," wrote the director of Twitter.

A TRIP TO RECORD - Precise Boing Boing that Cameron was "the first human to reach the depth of 11 km only"; Cameron arrived at the bottom with the necessary technology to collect scientific data, samples and images were unthinkable in 1960, when the 'unique mission with other human beings, the Challenger Deep, has been made, "the average internet quoting the National Geographic, which sponsored the expedition, and he speaks on his official website .

SCIENCE - "Before you resurface about 500 miles southeast of Guam, Cameron has spent hours hovering above the bottom", picking up during the mission as we said "samples and video," all thanks to the instrumentation of his "missile vertical" includes a collector of sediment, a robotic claw, a vacuum cleaner to suck up small sea creatures to study the surface and temperature gauges, pressure and salinity.
