This map shows the two peaks on the northeast end of Davidson Seamount that we explored on Day 5. GIS (geographic information system) data show our remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dive track (in red), beginning in a valley to the south, traversing over one peak, and ending on the crest of the second peak to the north. Note the smaller dots along the track that indicate significant events along the way. Researchers can now search for information about each of these events in the database.
