| Filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron is congratulated by ocean explorer and U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh, right, after completing the first ever solo dive to the Challenger Deep, the lowest part of the Mariana Trench. Walsh had taken the same journey to the bottom of the Mariana Trench 52 years ago in the bathyscaphe Trieste with Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard. Cameron’s dive in his specially designed submersible was part of ’Deepsea Challenge’, a joint scientific expedition by Cameron, the National Geographic Society and Rolex to conduct deep-ocean research
