How humans discovered the ocean floor, surveyed it and managed to represent it on wonderful maps.
Thanks so much for the write-up, and lovely maps. I'm re-reading Rachel Carson's The Sea Around Us (1951) — this is the perfect, updated yet short version of what we now know of the ocean floor.
Thank you!
There's a nice monument in Halifax to the transatlantic cable. It was hard to capture in photographs but I tried here https://mapoftheweek.substack.com/p/some-maps-in-the-wild-nova-scotia
Thanks for this. I love those NG ocean floor maps.
Yes, those maps are quite unique!
