We Know Little About It
The truth is that we know more about Mars than we know about the ocean floors. Let us give you an idea of how ironic this is. Earth is 140 million miles away from our neighboring planet, while the average depth of the ocean is no more than 12,000 feet. It is only around two miles away from the ground!
Not Easy At All
It is not at all easy to explore the depths of the Antarctic. This is part of the reason they had to spend a long time figuring out the right place for the descent. They eventually went with a spot called the “Iceberg Alley.” There is a good reason this place is called that.
