Megafaunal Community Structure From the Abyssal to Hadal Zone in the Yap Trench
Hadal trenches remain one of the unexplored ocean ecosystems due to the challenges of sampling at great depths. It is still unclear how a faunal community changes from the abyssal to the hadal zone, and which environmental variables are the key impacting

New Opportunities and Untapped Scientific Potential in the Abyssal Ocean
The abyssal ocean covers more than half of the Earth’s surface, yet remains understudied and underappreciated. In this Perspectives article, we mark the occasion of the Deep Submergence Vehicle Alvin’s increased depth range (from 4500 to 6500 m) to ...

For example, Wikipedia asserts that “abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth’s surface” and “are among the flattest, smoothest, and least explored regions on Earth” (1).
