Cameron: Earth’s deepest spot desolate, foreboding

WASHINGTON — The last fron­tier on Earth is out-of-this-world, des­o­late, fore­bod­ing, and moon-like, James Cameron said after div­ing to the deep­est part of the ocean. And he loved it. Cameron, who knows a lit­tle about alien worlds hav­ing made the movie “Avatar,” said when he got to this strange cold, dark place 7 miles below the west­ern Pacific Ocean that only two other men have been to, there was one thing he promised to him­self: He wanted to drink in how unusual it is.
