The Pacific
Mariana Trench's home
The Pacific is the Pacific Ocean, Earth's largest and deepest body of water, stretching from Asia and Australia to the Americas.
The name, from a word meaning peaceful, reflects the calm conditions Magellan encountered crossing it.
In military and historical contexts, the Pacific often refers specifically to the theater of World War II: My grandfather served in the Pacific.
