Ex-US navy commander Victor Vescovo has become the first person to reach the bottom of all four of the world's deepest ocean trenches.

Vescovo reached the bottom of the Kermadec Trench in the South Pacific Ocean at the weekend in the submersible DSV Limiting Factor — a two-person submersible built by Florida-based company Triton Submarines.
