The Philippines Trench (also: "Philippine Deep", "Mindanao Trench", "Mindanao Deep”) stretches with a length of approximately 1,320 km and a width of round about 30 km from the northeast top of Luzon up to the Indonesian Island of Malacca Halmahera. 10,540 meters depth were measured in its deepest point - the Galathea Depth -. The Everest Mount with his 8,846 meters of height would vanish smoothly in the deep sea trench. For comparison - the Pacific Ocean reaches otherwise only an average-depth of round about 4,190 meters.
