On July 12, 2022 Esri Chief Scientist, Dawn Wright, made history as she dove in a submersible to the deepest place on Earth, Challenger Deep. Her mission? To use high-resolution sonar to map a part of our planet in never-before-seen detail. Here are 30 photos from her expedition, including images from Challenger Deep, 10,919 meters below the surface, maps from the expedition, and scenes taken within the sub.<\/p>\n\n

The expedition began in Guam, where Dawn boarded the DSSV Pressure Drop, <\/a>a vessel owned by ocean research and exploration companyCaladan Oceanic,<\/strong>to journey to Challenger Deep.<\/p>\n\n

Here, Dawn, on left, is standing at the port in Guam with Rochelle Wigley<\/a> of Map the Gaps<\/a> and the University of New Hampshire. They proudly hold the Seabed 2030<\/a> (a UN program dedicated to mapping the global seafloor in detail by 2030) flag before the expedition. Rochelle was responsible for processing and mapping the bathymetric data collected by the ship\u2019s sonar. She also prepared planning maps for the submersible dives and instrument deployments.<\/p>\n\n

New data from this expedition is being submitted to Seabed 2030 and ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World<\/a>, the foremost collection of geographic information from around the globe. <\/p>\n\n

Onboard! Let the Mapping Begin:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Onboard the ship, mapping is done with the Kongsberg EM-124 sonar system. This image shows Globie, the Esri mascot, in front of the sonar monitor. Dawn gave Globie to Rochelle to show appreciation for her work during the expedition. She put in 17 to 18 hours most days and kept Globie at the helm of the sonar system monitor. <\/p>\n\n

Here, a regional bathymetry map shows the three major depressions within Challenger Deep – the Eastern, Central, and Western Pools. 200-m contours are shown in thin black, 100-m contours are shown in bold black, to highlight the pools, and 20-m contours are shown in bold red. This data was collected by the ship’s EM-124 multibeam echosounder.<\/p>\n\n

Dawn and Victor Vescovo descended to a previously unexplored part of the Western Pool at ~142deg12\u2019 E longitude. After her dive, Dawn was presented with a 37×26\u201d printout of the map signed by members of the expedition team and ship\u2019s crew.<\/p>\n\n

The day before the dive, Dawn practiced getting into and out of the sub. She wanted to get a feel for where the rungs were located and where to turn and step when lowering herself down into the personnel sphere.<\/p>\n\n

During this practice session, Dawn and her roommate, Kate Wawatai, climbed into the sub. Kate gave Dawn an instrument panel and safety briefing. Kate Wawatai is the only female member of the submersible support team and a fine submersible pilot in her own right. Kate is from New Zealand and hopes to one day pilot the sub to the deepest part of the Kermadec Trench, a sacred place in Maori history and culture. <\/p>\n\n

Here, Dawn enters the sub on July 12, 2022 (Guam time), under the watchful eye of Shane \u201cSpeedo\u201d Muhl, the sub support \u201cswimmer\u201d (one who swims out with the sub and hooks or unhooks its final tethering). Learn more about what Dawn brought with her inside the sub in this video<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Dive Route: This \u200b\u200bmap shows the planned survey route for the Limiting Factor submersible. This map was used by Pilot – Victor Vescovo, Mission Specialist – Dawn, and the topside survey team to navigate and track the sub’s position during the survey. <\/p>\n\n

For the most part, Dawn and Victor successfully followed this track while diving, but they had to adjust for the drift of bottom currents as they traveled. Most of the first-ever sidescan sonar surveying at the deepest parts of our ocean was conducted along the southern wall between target points 3 and 4. <\/p>\n\n

What did they see immediately upon touching the bottom? A BEER BOTTLE! Dawn: \u201cThis is further evidence that we as humanity MUST as humanity do BETTER by the ocean and the habitats that we ourselves share and ultimately depend on. There is no Planet B!\u201d  Watch a video of this moment here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Dawn: \u201cThe strangest lifeforms that we encountered during the dive were these hydroids growing out of the basaltic rocks. These hydroids were identified by Dr. Alan Jamieson of the University of Western Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Surveying the Bottom:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Dawn and Victor explored over 1500 meters of the southern wall in the Western Pool of Challenger Deep. This area had never been explored before. The broad coverage of the route allowed Dawn, an accomplished marine geologist, to observe a large swath of the Western Pool’s rocks.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"

Here, Dawn\u2019s laptop screen shows data being collected by the sidescan sonar system as the sub traverses the southern wall of the Western Pool. Given the sub\u2019s positioning at the time, the features of the wall are shown in the right and left portions of the laptop\u2019s screen. The middle of the readout is the null region of no data in between the instruments’ two transducers.<\/p>\n\n

Notice the chunky basaltic rocks seen at the bottom. These rocks are located in the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Philippine Plate. Dawn aptly has named this area \u201cFlintstones quarry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Ascending<\/strong>: Snoopy kept watch for Dawn over her Starboard dashboard. The depth indicator to the far-left shows that at the time of the photo Dawn and Victor had ascended to 1019 meters, and thus were almost \u201chome.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The expedition and celebration continue! Here, Dawn speaks by satellite speaker phone with two of her scientific heroes: Alondra Nelson <\/a>(White House Office of Science and Technology Policy deputy director for science and society) and Jane Lubchenco<\/a> (White House Office of Science and Technology Policy deputy director for climate and environment). They asked her to reflect upon and discuss the importance of the Challenger Deep dive. At the time of this photo, the ship was transiting from Challenger Deep to the next dive site at the Yap Trench.<\/p>\n\n

While the ship stopped above the Yap Trench, for the next submersible dive of Victor and Master Navigator Sesario Sewalrur to Yap Trench, Dawn assisted CBS News cameraman Roger Masterson by catching his drone for him, to protect it from landing dangerously on a wet, rolling ship deck.<\/p>\n\n

Here, Dawn holds a tiny styrofoam cup that has been shrunken down 3x from its original size. This cup was brought down in the submersible with Dawn and Victor on their dive to showcase how drastically pressure changes from the surface of the ocean down to the deepest point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Some of Dawn\u2019s priceless treasures from Challenger Deep include: (1) a special pin presented to her by the expedition leader and designed by Don Walsh, the first person to dive to Challenger Deep. The pin depicts two sea creatures flanking the Trieste, the vessel in which Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard dove to Challenger Deep. (2) Dawn\u2019s name and ship name panels for her dive suit, as given to her by the sub-support crew; (3) Palau\u2019s very unique passport stamp at the end of the expedition; and (4) a styrofoam cup shrunk under hydrostatic pressure of 16,000 psi, the same pressure that the sub experienced.<\/p>\n\n
