At these depths, the surrounding water exerts crushing force equivalent to hundreds of atmospheres, yet the shark’s flexible cartilaginous body moves with slow precision beside metal vessels engineered to resist implosion.
Encounters between human technology and a centuries-old deep predator underscore how little of the abyss is routinely observed, and how giants adapted to darkness continue to dominate territories that remain largely unexplored.
