Satellite data (coarser bottom layer) is overlaid with the entire EM300 bathymetry data set (higher resolution top layer) collected on the 2003 and 2004 Ring of Fire expeditions. Data are 2 times vertically exaggerated. Islands are green. Data set resolution varies: EM300 bathymetry (35 meter grid), islands (30 meter grids), and satellite (3500 meter grid). Island data are from the
