multibeam view

After arriving at Green Canyon 852, the Jason remotely operated vehicle (ROV) group conducted a bathymetry survey of the site dubbed the "Coral Garden." At full resolution, the SM2000 multibeam mounted on the underside of the ROV enables scientists to spot objects as small as 0.5 meters. Image courtesy of Expedition to the Deep Slope 2007.
