'Extraordinary' levels of toxic pollution found in 10km deep Mariana trench
Scientists have discovered "extraordinary" levels of toxic pollution in the most remote and inaccessible place on the planet - the 10km-deep Mariana trench in the Pacific ocean. Small crustaceans that live in the pitch-black waters of the trench, captured by a robotic submarine, were contaminated with 50 times more toxic chemicals than crabs that survive in heavily polluted rivers in China.
