Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh emerge from the Trieste after the first ever dive to Challenger Deep in January 1960. After a grueling five hour descent, the men spent only twenty minutes on the ocean floor. This early departure was due to a crack in the outer window caused by temperature differences during the descent. The ascent back to the surface took the two men three hours and fifteen minutes.
