I have never seen one that integrates what I assume is the land and the underwater topography on a small scale. It appears that the main river in the picture had carved a massive canyon when the ocean levels must have been significantly lower. So much for the theory that the rising ocean levels are a new man caused phenomenon. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

"The Gully" off of Nova Scotia is not as large as the Monterey Bay canyon, but it further to the north. |
