Ring of Fire 2002 Expedition

Ring of Fire 2002 Expedition. Three-dimensional image of Explorer Ridge viewed from the southwest looking northeast. The bathymetry data were gridded at 200 meter grid-cell size. Water depths range from 1500 to 3400 meters. The image is vertically exaggerated five times. The multibeam systems used on the ROF 2002 survey will map part of this area with a less than 5-meter grid.
