This looks exactly like Belize's Great Blue Hole.

Mariana trench is actually deeper than mount Everest in heights. Amazing, would love to visit the trench though. when they improve and invented better equipments that can carry passengers there safely and back.

PromisingSteam2, it probably is, PS2. The photos that accompany the questions often have little or nothing to do with the actual answers. It's a off-kilter ploy. 😒

VauntedSquire6311, It's closer to Japan then to the US?! But the Mariana Islands are a US territory I believe, so that's probably why it'd a US monument...

Kevin<3santosh, nope, it's an 'oblate' sphere, like somebody sat on a beach ball, because of the centrifugal force of its spin.

PromisingSteam2, it surely does. Belize Great Blue Hole is often mistaken as belonging to Mexico.

If you dropped a steel ball bearing off a boat there.....it would take 3 hours of free fall sinking to reach the sea floor.

CJ, CNMI & GUAM ARE PART OF "CHAIN OF THE MARIANA ISLANDS", WHICH ARE ALL LOCATED ABOVE THE MARIANA TRENCH. I RECALL 7+ ISLANDS TOTAL MAKE UP THE CHAIN, GUAM, CNMI/SAIPAN, BELAU, CHÙUK, PHONPEI, ROTA, TINIAN, YAP, MAYBE ALAMAGUAN (THIS ISLAND HAS GOATS & THE PPL WHO TAKE KARE OF GOATS RESIDING THERE). NONETHELESS, PPL BORN IN GUAM & CNMI ARE US CITIZENS, HOWEVER, DOESN'T MEAN THE SAME FOR THE OTHER ISLANDS MENTIONED. NICE TO KNOW SOME OF US PAY ATTENTION TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD, WITH INCITEFUL KNOWLEDGE (GEOGRAPHICLY)! HAFA ADAI!

Player #70614116, Individuals born in Guam and in the Northern Mariana Islands are considered US citizens. Geographically, the trench lies between the two island groups.

Arohanui, the Mariana Islands is a US Commonwealth. these islands are situated to the north of the trench. On the south end of the trench is the island of Guam which is a US territory.

Kookwater, Since the Russians managed to crash into the moon maybe they should claim it.

I can’t wait to see what is actually down there. The possibilities are endless! But then again, if they find things down there, they won’t be left alone. Guess I can’t wait until we can just become observers…one day

Good to hear that the UN have after 20 years of debating decided to help protect all our oceans and the beautiful creatures that live in them.

Scientist Jacques Piccard and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh earned the place of travelling and exploring the bottom of the Mariana Trench for the first time ever. This incident took place in 1960 and was a successful mission.

Arohanui, it's the territory of the usa that's why it's a US national monument

Arohanui, the US government love to own everything especially at their own glory and interest...that is why it became a US national monument.🤣😂🤣

Guam is in the Marianna's islands. Guam is an American territory...guess that's why it is a US National Monument.

Arohanui, it's because of the proximity to the United States territory of GUAM.

I think they should use proper pictures though. This is the Blue Hole in Belize not the Mariana Trench.

This is crazy! I think South Africa should declare the moon one of its monuments and charge a fee if you want to visit it or even just look at it!

All this time I thought the Challenger Deep and the Mariana Trench were two different parts of the ocean, never knew the former was one part of the latter.
