An elevation model of the Hudson Submarine Canyon.

An elevation model of the Hudson Submarine Canyon, illustrating the range and depth to which the canyon extends. The Hudson Canyon is also the valley extending from the mouth of the Hudson River toward the southeast across the continental shelf. The shelf in this area is quite broad. The land north of the canyon is Long Island, and the water just north of it is Long Island Sound. Image courtesy of Hudson Canyon 2002, NOAA/OER.
