What if you had to stare at someone for 7-hours?
Hi, everyone-
I don’t think I’ve ever had to stare at anyone’s face for longer than a couple of minutes at a time. Ever. Not with a loved one. Not with even my own reflection.
How about you?
But for Jacque Piccard, he had to do this with a colleague. On one of the most confronting expeditions in history:
The world’s first ever descent down the Mariana Trench.
The first anything is always a lot of pressure. Especially when you’re talking about going down in elevation—where water pressure is so strong that one can easily be deaf in a matter of seconds.
Then, if your eardrums are compromised—the body’s balance can also become a problem.
Exactly when balance is needed most.
