Atlantic Ocean Floor (1968) (Map) The Atlantic Ocean Floor map of 1968 presents a detailed representation of the underwater topography of the North and South Atlantic Oceans. This bathymetric map, compiled by the U.S. National Geographic Society's Board of Associates and U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office, was created using hydrographic surveys conducted between 1957 and 1968. The map showcases various geographical features, including mountain ranges, underwater plateaus, seamounts, and deep trenches, offering scientists, explorers, and the public a comprehensive view of the Atlantic Ocean's floor. This historical document has contributed significantly to our understanding of the ocean's depths, providing a basis for further research in marine geology, oceanography, and maritime exploration.
