The Kermadec Trench, northeast of New Zealand, is one of the world’s deepest ocean trenches, reaching over 10,000m. Formed by the collision of the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates, it’s a remarkably straight, 1000km-long feature and home to unique deep-sea life, including giant amphipods and the hadal snailfish. Recent expeditions have explored its extreme depths, revealing fascinating insights into this remote and geologically active region.Wikipedia
