There are many amazing places in the world. Some may have been to such places that they would like to shear a story about, or just come across something that fits the title.

No , but I have lobster (Mamma’s in Hawaii) from there and it’s the best! So freaking sweet! I actually went back the next day and had it again. Evidently only sold in Japan and Momma’s. Trust me I looked.

Still short nearly 11 km. from the deepest spot.
Some have been there:

So far 12 men (yes, they were all men) have walked on the surface of the moon. Nobody has walked on the bottom of the Mariana trench , but six people have descended to it in submersibles.
In 1960 the US Navy submersible Trieste made a dive with two crew on board, Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh.

The most recent visit to the Mariana trench was in March 2021 by British-American adventurer and video game designer Richard Garriott, who became the first person to visit both North and South poles, orbit Earth aboard the International Space Station and dive to the deepest part of the ocean.
