Interactive graphic reveals the creatures and shipwrecks that lurk in the deep sea.

Since 1958 , 44,000 dives have only visually observed an area one-tenth the size of Belgium .

Scientists say this is equivalent to trying to learn about every ecosystem on land by looking at an area the size Houston , Texas .

50% of the planet is covered by ocean at least two miles ( 3.2 km ) deep.

The deepest part of the ocean is found in the Mariana Trench , located in the western Pacific Ocean .

One plastic bag was found 35,754 feet ( 10,898 metres ) below the surface.

This is the deepest known piece of human-made pollution in the world.

Of all the waste found, 89 per cent of it was designed for single-use purposes.
