Yokosuka, Dec 10 (EFE).- The Mariana Trench, the deepest point on planet Earth at 11 kilometers (nearly 7 miles) below sea level, is an inhospitable place and almost inaccessible to humanity. But it's not inaccessible to the garbage left by humans.Over three decades, researchers from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) have identified, photographed and recorded some of the waste generated by human activity that has ended in the deepest folds of the Pacific Ocean.In Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Trench at over 10,000 meters deep, these scientists found remnants of plastic bags and a wooden plank.Closer to the surface, but still several kilometers below sea level, they discovered objects such as slippers, a shoe, a sports backpack, several car wheels, a toy fire engine and a mannequin's head, which a marine organism had made its home.
