Vanessa O’Brien – the Goodwill Ambassador for Pakistan has created history by successfully carrying the country’s flag to the deepest point in the ocean named Challenger Deep, which is 10,923 meters below the sea level.

This mission has made Vanessa O’Brien the first woman to reach the highest and the lowest points of the earth. The point is so deep that if Everest is put in the Challenger Deep, it will still be 2 km under the water.

This dive was driven by the bid to map the eastern seabed of Challenger Deep, which has remained a mystery for geologists. The team collected water, rock, and other samples, which will help with scientific research.
