How Deep Under the Sea Have Humans Gone. Almost 7 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean lies the worldâs deepest point, the Challenger Deep. Has anyone ever ventured there? The Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific near Guam, lies at a depth of 35,840 feet and could easily hold the 29,029-foot Mount Everest. The Deep was discovered in 1875, and people have been attempting to precisely measure its depth ever since.
Re: HOW DEEP INTO THE EARTH HAS THE FURTHEST PERSON EVER BEEN (MINNING) The deepest mine - at least the deepest I can find any record of - is the Western Deep Levels gold mine operated by the Anglogold company in South Africa. It's depth is 12,300 feet, or 2.33 miles. The gold ore is recovered by actual miners at this depth, so they would be the deepest anyone has been in the earth. A particular problem in deep mining is that the earth gets hotter as you dig deeper.
