Back to Jr.High, Bookpossom. The Trench is waaay more west. Westier than Hawaii, even! In fact, the Mariana Trench is
west of the islands of Guam, Saipan, and Rota, (known as the Northern Marianas for some reason,) closer to Asia. And a mile deep? Nah.. waaay deeper!

Challenger Deep IS the correct name, so 1 point for LiquidGear.
But 10,000 miles is too deep...

... and 1 point for Dreams. The Challenger Deep has been charted as about 6 miles, 1,0924 meters (meters, not miles... which is probably what LiquidGear meant to say
)
So... with one point apiece we have no definitive winner. But... as 'intent' is just as important, if neither of the other two object, let's give the next question to LiquidGear for an 'almost' two points....
Give us one, LG
