| Abstract |
The deep oceans are the last great frontier on earth. Not long ago, scientists viewed the ocean floor as a vast, featureless plain. This text spans a 130-year period, covering the efforts to map the depths and culminating in the publication of the first map of the ocean's floor in 1977. |
