Dubai: A Dubai resident is set to make history on Friday by traversing the length of the Challenger Deep at the Mariana Trench which, at nearly 11km deep, is equivalent to more than 13 times the height of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower. Hamish Harding, chairman of Action Aviation, will go inside a purpose-built DSV Limiting Factor, a two-person deep-submergence vehicle, in support of UAE’s commitment to exploration and science by searching for evidence of human pollution at the deepest point on Earth and looking for new species living nearly 11km below sea level. Harding will be joined by famed undersea explorer Victor Vescovo. Their exploit is set to make a new Guinness World Record for the greatest distance travelled at full ocean depth.
