ROV Deep Discoverer took this photo in Kinlan Canyon in 2013. The dive track explored the northeastern wall of the canyon, and was composed of thinly layered bedding planes, with ledges populated with various fauna, including sponges, cup corals, octocorals, colonial scleractinians, bivalves, seastars, fish, anemones, zoanthids, shrimp, and a few urchins.
