Embark on an extraordinary journey into the depths of the ocean.

Oceanographer Dawn Wright made history in 2022 when she became the first Black person to visit Challenger Deep, the deepest and most unexplored place on Earthâ"a trip that took her over 10,000 meters beneath the Pacific Oceanâs surface. We know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the moon. To date, barely one-fifth of the seabed has been mapped in high resolution. As an ocean scientist and explorer, Dawn has made it her mission to change that.

Mapping the Deep takes you on an extraordinary adventure with an extraordinary woman into the depths of Challenger Deep, showcasing the perseverance and innovation needed for ocean exploration. With a focus on Dawnâs historic dive, her personal journey, and the cutting-edge technology that made the expedition possible, this book highlights the crucial importance of mapping the ocean and its profound impact on our planetâs future. Prepare to be inspiredâ"from the fascinating history of the area and the incredible stories of its explorers to the diverse marine life that lives within.

Through a blend of history, fascinating facts, and beautiful images, Mapping the Deep offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of deep-sea exploration.

Industry Reviews

"When Dawn Wright submitted her master's thesis in the 1980s - a geophysical survey of the Pacific Ocean’s Tonga Trench using sea-floor data collected by others — it was grudgingly approved. But her professor advised her afterwards that she had no future in oceanography and should consider a non-scientific profession.…Today, she is a distinguished oceanographer and chief scientist at Esri, a software company in Redlands, California, renowned for creating geographical information systems. In 2022, she became the fifth woman and the first Black person to visit Challenger Deep, the deepest place on Earth’s sea bed, nearly 11,000 metres beneath the Pacific Ocean’s surface…. Her charming life story, with many appealing images, is written by four Esri Press colleagues in collaboration with Wright. It shows how, in her words, "we can turn the unknown deep into the known deep".
