Why the Second Deepest Trench Gets So Little Attention
Original: Why No One Talks About The Second Deepest Trench
The world's second deepest ocean trench, the Tonga Trench in the South Pacific, is drawing renewed attention online after viewers shared an explainer on why it is rarely mentioned alongside the Mariana Trench. The trench plunges to roughly 10,800 metres near the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zone, yet remains far less explored and far less publicised than its famous neighbour.
Why now: Fascination with little-known deep ocean places is surging as audiences compare the overlooked Tonga Trench with the famous Mariana Trench.
