Seeing through your own eyes the immensity of water and its depth is a spectacle in itself and this is what the Spanish animator \u00c1lvaro Gracia Montoya has achieved. He recently shared a video on his YouTube channel, MetaBallStudios, that will help you. As Nerdist reports, the video begins with a relatively shallow body of water \u2013 the Sea of Azov in Eastern Europe, which averages about 23 feet deep \u2013 and continues with other bodies of water in order of depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



As the video progresses, notable landmarks appear to give you a frame of reference. If the Eiffel Tower were located at Lake Superior\u2019s deepest point, about 1332 feet, there would still be nearly 270 feet of water above its tip. And if you put the Eiffel Tower next to the wreck of the USS Johnston\u2014a World War II naval ship sunk during the Battle of Leyte Gulf and confirmed found earlier this year in the Philippine Sea\u2014it looks as small as a toy. At 21,180 feet, the Johnston is the deepest shipwreck ever discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 305-foot Statue of Liberty looks similarly tiny when situated beside the Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 12,000 feet of water above it. But the Atlantic goes much deeper than that, down to nearly 27,500 feet; Mount Everest outstretches it by about 1500 feet.

Even Everest can\u2019t compete with the Pacific Ocean\u2019s Mariana Trench, whose southern edge hits 36,200 feet\u2014the deepest point of any ocean and the final stop in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
