Summary

A topological map of the North Atlantic Ocean, depicting undersea features, by Tom Patterson (shadedrelief.com), from an edited version of the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans. This version of the map has labels and other text.
Description from the map:
"Blue Earth Bathymetry is the source of all topography shown on the map. It is an edited version of the GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) dataset. The 3D topography, rendered as plan oblique relief, depicts undersea features in partial profile with 1,100 percent vertical exaggeration. South-facing slopes receive more emphasis than steep slopes facing north, some of which disappear from view. The Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel and the Maury Channel received manual touchups.
Mapped terrestrial areas derive from Natural Earth vector and raster data. The GEBCO Gazetteer of Undersea Feature Names was the source for ocean bottom labels. Note that the map graticule represents sea level; the latitude of seafloor features is slightly less and varies depending on the depth.
