Scientists have found the deepest point on land. The deepest point on Earth has been identified in East Antarctica under Denman glacier. This ice-filled canyon reaches 3.5km below sea level. The discovery is shown in a new map of the White Continent that reveals the shape of bedrock under the ice sheet in unprecedented detail. Dr. Morlighem said the trenches in the oceans are deeper but this is the deepest canyon on land.
