The Hollywood film director James Cameron has begun a descent to the bottom of the world's deepest ocean trench in the western Pacific. Mr Cameron, who directed the film Titanic, is making the 11km dive in a specially designed submarine to explore and film the floor of the Mariana Trench. If he succeeds, it'll be only the second manned expedition ever to go there and the first for half a century. Mr Cameron will have to spend 10 hours curled up like a foetus in a tiny submersible, the Deepsea Challenger.
