The wreck of the Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (approximately 3,800 to 3,840 meters or 2.4 miles) below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is located roughly 325 nautical miles (600 kilometers) south- southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada
. The shipwreck is split into two main pieces, the bow and the stern, which lie about 2,000 to 2,600 feet (600 to 800 meters) apart on the ocean floor
. The water pressure at this depth is extremely high, around 400 atmospheres, contributing to the deterioration of the wreck over time
. This depth places the Titanic in the ocean's "midnight zone," a region of complete darkness and immense pressure
. The wreck has been explored by numerous expeditions and remains a site of significant historical and scientific interest.
