Robot Submarine Maps World's Deepest Sinkhole

Posted by kdawson on from the submerge-the-Chrysler-Building dept.

holy_calamity writes "The world's deepest water-filled sinkhole has finally been mapped — by a robotic submarine whose descendants may one day swim on one of Jupiter's moons. The last attempt to find the bottom resulted in the SCUBA diving depth record and the death of a diving legend. The sub's sonar found that the divers had descended to only about 10m from the floor. The sub's mapping also indicated that the sinkhole, which is over 300m deep, could connect to even deeper caves."

    We should have used it to explore Lilo from Freenode's fat ass when he was still alive. I wonder what the impact of hitting a whale on a bicycle does to a car and does your insurance cover th at?

    I do not want to see more of them!

    I already have seen the outside of this World's Deepest Sinkhole on Earth (mirror here) and had really enough of that!
    When do you people stop with this nastyness?
