5. The deepest Mediterranean point hides the alarming “treasures”

Waste even reached the deepest Mediterranean. During the scientific expedition, cans, bottles and garbage bags, the bottom of the bottom, caught the attention of the researchers. This is probably one of the most littered points on the maritime map of the Earth.

The deepest point at the bottom of the Mediterranean is called Calypso depth. It is located in the Ionian Sea, about 60 kilometers west of the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece. The tank has a depth of 5,112 meters. According to a study published in “Marine Pollution Bulletin”, even such inaccessible points are full of waste.
