Mariana Trench, Mt. Everest and Depths of Travel

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

On January 23, 1960, at a little after one in the afternoon, two men seated on small stainless steel boxes inside a forged steel-alloy cabin, settled gently onto a patch of ivory-coloured silt on the floor of the Mariana trench. At a depth of 35,800 feet, they had achieved every explorers dream. But what has become of the human desire for exploration, especially in pandemic times? This week, join Utsav as he travels to one of the most visited places in India: Goa, and witnesses something unique to come away with an oft ignored insight on human exploration. Tune in, and discover how even going back to the same place again can provide us with new experiences.
