James Cameron journeys to the Challenger Deep, lives to tell the tale in 3D (video)

James Cameron journeys to the Challenger Deep, lives to tell the tale in 3D (video)

It's easy for life to imitate art when you're armed with near billion dollar coffers. Taking a cue from his 1989 hit, The Abyss, James Cameron made a solo plunge down to the deepest part of the Earth - a spot seven miles below sea level known as the Challenger Deep - and recorded his journey in 3D for our slack-jawed, couchbound amusement. The terrain, described by Cameron as both "desolate" and "lunar," is part of the Mariana Trench and had remained unexplored by humanity since the Trieste first touched down in 1960.
