Three-dimensional image of Monterey Canyon, termed a gully in this image.This image is the first attempt to depict a 3-dimensional view of a submarinecanyon and incorporated soundings from the Coast and Geodetic Survey and theFish Commission. This highly simplistic view was constructed from relativelysparse soundings and does not capture the complexity of the canyon system. (Image credit: Archival Photography by Steve Nicklas)
