The Laurentian Abyss is the deepest second deepest part of the Earth's ocean at a depth of 8,428 metres (27,651 ft). It is second only to Challenger Deep which has a depth of about 11,000 metres (about 36,000 feet).
Fiction
Transformers (2007)
The United States government dropped all of the defeated Decepticons into the Laurentian Abyss. It was hoped that the extreme pressure and temperature of the Abyss would destroy bodies of the Decepticons, hiding the evidence from the unknowing populace of Earth. Transformers
Trivia
- John Keller calls the abyss the deepest point on Earth... but in reality, this is untrue. The Mariana Trench is over twice as deep as the Laurentian. Granted, "Laurentian Abyss" sounds more sci-fi menacing than "Marinara Trench"... which sounds like a Pizza Hut gimmick.
