Milwaukee Deep, which lies 84 miles (135 km)

off the north coast of Puerto Rico, is the deepest point

in the Atlantic Ocean. It is 28,231 ft (8605 m), or just

over 5 miles (8 km), below sea level.

The deadliest volcanic eruption

of the 20th century took place on

May 8, 1902, when Mount Pelee

erupted on Martinique, killing

30,000 people, around 15%

of the island’s population.
