About this listen

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 Earth—a trip that took her over 10,000 meters beneath the Pacific Ocean’s 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 Dawn’s 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 planet’s future. Prepare to be inspired—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 and fascinating facts, Mapping the Deep offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of deep-sea exploration.

Gwen Steel’s narration was engaging and captivating, making an already cool adventure even moreso to experience along with “Deepsea Dawn.” Some of the “inset boxes” from the hard copy of the book, as read by Dawn Wright, seem a little out of place as you listen to the audio version, but maybe Book Buddy will release an update for this book.

Amazing story about an amazing person. Had a hard time getting past the narrator though. Very much thought she was AI until I learned she wasn’t.
