STORYLINE:
Scientists from China and New Zealand have completed a successful dive to the Scholl Deep in the Kermadec Trench during a two-month joint scientific voyage onboard China's research vessel Tansuoyihao.
The Scholl Deep is the deepest known point of the Kermadec Trench, more than 1,000 km to the northeast of New Zealand. The trench is over 1,000 km long and its deepest point is at a depth greater than the height of Mount Qomolangma.
The dive was undertaken together by New Zealand Marine biologist Dr. Kareen Schnabel and submersible pilots Deng Yuqing and Yuan Xin from China's Institute of Deep-Sea Science and Engineering (IDSSE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
