GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans)
GEBCO, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, is a global project that creates detailed maps of the ocean floor. Using data from ships, satellites, and underwater instruments, it reveals the underwater mountains, trenches, and valleys. These maps help scientists understand ocean geography, support navigation, climate studies, and marine research. While much of the ocean remains unexplored, GEBCO continuously updates its charts to improve accuracy and detail, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in the underwater world.
