Exploration of the Challenger Deep
Nicole Yamase, a marine biologist from Micronesia, had the unique opportunity to explore the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the ocean. This location holds mysteries as it is one of the least explored areas on the planet with Nicole being the first Micronesian to venture there.
