Director James Cameron is back on dry land after traveling to the deepest known point on Earth, some seven miles below the surface of the ocean. He’s the first person to make the dive alone, and he spent about three hours there collecting research samples and taking pictures.
Dr. Jon Copley is a marine biologist at Southampton University in the U.K., and talks about the difficulty as well as the extraordinary opportunity of this deep sea dive.
