James Cameron became the third person to reach the deepest point of the ocean, Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, using a specially designed submersible. His vehicle, Deep-Sea Challenger, is equipped with advanced technology for exploration, unlike the previous submersible used over 50 years ago. Cameron's mission, in partnership with National Geographic, aims to further explore this less-known part of the Earth. Despite being a filmmaker, Cameron's passion for exploration is evident, and he plans more expeditions. The video also reflects on the value of investing in scientific exploration.
