apart from, you know, being 20,000 leagues under the sea, which is 1.1112e+8 metres accoridng to google. and submarines so deep in the ocean that they are actually deep in the space on the other side... or maybe it's just ISS?
- orjan 10y agoI'll just quote Wikipedia: "The title refers to the distance traveled while under the sea and not to a depth, as 20,000 leagues is over six times the diameter, and nearly twice the circumference of the Earth.[2] The greatest depth mentioned in the book is four leagues. The book uses metric leagues, which are four kilometres each" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_...)
- notahacker 10y agoOf course, if we're being pedantic about details, that still puts the depth the Nautilus reached at over a kilometre into the earth's crust below even the deepest part of the known ocean...
