Dang, that guy was prepared.  Had a shovel and everything.  I thought when he was going through his pack, he was going to pull out a Garmin, not a shovel.  Guy definitely owes the digger an open tab.

A juvenile snailfish officially took the Guinness World Record this week for the world’s deepest fish.

The youngster lived 27,349 feet below the surface in the world’s second-deepest oceanic trench.

"We have spent over 15 years researching these deep snailfish; there is so much more to them than simply the depth, but the maximum depth they can survive is truly astonishing," said chief scientist for the expedition and University of Western Australia professor Alan Jamieson in a statement.

The fish lives more than 5 miles below the surface in near-freezing temperatures. It thrives under 833 atmospheres, which is more than 12,000 pounds per square inch. That is the weight of a bus on your head, according to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Nuclear submarines can only dive to 980 feet before being crushed.
