Location of deepest point in Litke Deep in the Arctic Ocean
Arctic Ocean bathymetry
Litke Deep (Russian: Жёлоб Ли́тке) is[1][2] an oceanic trench in the Arctic Ocean. The deepest point, also referred to as Litke Deep, is 5,449 m (17,877 ft) below sea level. It is the closest point of the upper surface of Earth's lithosphere to Earth's center, with Challenger Deep being 14.7268 km (9.2 mi) further from Earth's centre at a bathymetric depth of 6,366.4311 km (3,955.9 mi).[3]
The deepest point in Litke Deep is the closest point on the Earth's surface to the Earth's center given that it is located along the planet's polar flattening. Based on average global sea level (mean sea level), the deepest point in Litke Deep is shallower than Challenger Deep.[4] Litke Deep is the second deepest point in the Arctic Ocean after Molloy Deep.[5][6][7][8][9]
