Thanks for the ping!

Like we postulated: seamount and inadequate mapping. I'd surely hate to have to navigate that area submerged with any of the charts I've seen.

Don't have them handy right now, but I bet that National Geographic has better relief maps of the seafloor than these... :-(

Like they say, we know more about the surface of Mars than we do the Sea Floor on Planet Earth.....

We need a heavy technology discussion on what radar can do about peering through 1000 feet of water to map the undersea.....

I don't think it can, radar depends on reflection...
