Question - 208

These two men have been to a place no one else has ever been to. The equipment they used to accomplish this was designed by one of the men in the picture along with his father. Identify both and their achievement.

Answer: The men are Lt. Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard. To date, they are the only two to have been to the deepest point in the earth's crust (the challenger deep in the Mariana trench). Their mission was undertaken in the bathyscaphe Trieste that Jacques Piccard built with his father Auguste Piccard. Srivats, passer by, Iam, Anshul, Rajeev and Avinash got this. Well done.
