Bathymetric maps of the Juan de Fuca Ridge and the Axial Seamount caldera

These bathymetric maps, created with data from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), show the Juan de Fuca Ridge offshore of the Pacific Northwest of the United States. On the left, an inset box indicates the location of Axial Seamount, while the right-hand map shows a detailed bathymetric view of Axial's edifice and caldera (central crater). Maps assembled by J.
