Jiaolong, China's manned submersible, is about to dive into the South China Sea, May 10, 2017. The Jiaolong, China's manned submersible, dived in the Mariana Trench on Tuesday, making the first of a series dives for the third stage of the country's 38th oceanic expedition. The first of its three stages took place in the Indian Ocean for 59 days, and the second in the South China Sea for 34 days, according to China's National Deep Sea Center. The ocean's floor in the Mariana Trench is dark place with water temperatures from 1 to 4 C and atmospheric pressure 1,000 times greater than at the sea's surface.
