The Mariana Trench to Scale

Ah, so simple, so clean, and totally gets the point across! The tiny black dot at the surface is a scale representation of a 6-foot tall human being, while the "little" animal swimming below it is a scale representation of the largest living creature on earth, a blue whale (although the image they used for it looks suspiciously like a fish). It's hard not to fully comprehend the scale of the Mariana Trench after looking at that. If you can't see them, the full size image is here.
