I’ve always been fascinated by the Mariana Trench.  It is located in the Pacific Ocean east of the Mariana Islands near Japan. With a depth of 11,033 metres (36,200 ft), it is not only the deepest part of the ocean, but also the deepest part of the Earth’s surface.  At that depth the pressure reaches 15,750 psi.  There is no sunlight.

The life that thrives in this remote dark world looks almost alien.  When creating characters and creatures I find that the natural world is full of things that I could never have imagined.
