how deep is point nemo

Point Nemo sits over seafloor that is roughly 4,000 meters (about 13,000 feet) below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

Quick depth facts

• The ocean beneath Point Nemo is part of the abyssal zone, with the seafloor around 4 km down.

• In miles, that is about 2.3–2.5 miles of water column from surface to seabed.

• This is very deep but still far shallower than the Mariana Trench , which goes past 11,000 meters.

Where that depth puts it

• Point Nemo lies in the South Pacific Gyre, one of the most isolated and nutrient-poor ocean regions on Earth.

• Conditions at that depth are cold , dark, and under crushing pressure, which limits life and makes direct exploration difficult.
