Today we are on the search for a significantly sized underwater canyon. It is currently notable for not being entirely where we thought it was going to be. At the moment it's not 100% clear why this is, but I guess that's the challenge of working with data a few decades old. Knowing your location then was a significantly different activity to what it is now. Plus we're on a journey of exploration, and now we're exploring! So all is as it should be. Our initial tracks up and down where we thought the canyon was gave some hints to it's location but weren't all that we were hoping for. |
So now we are navigating by gut instinct and our general feel for what canyons should do. We're following the canyon walls around to see what we can find, it's exciting, relies on us being completely on the ball, and is really feeling like an adventure.
As you can see from the line below. We had a grand plan of following the canyon up and down with neat strokes to find out what it's doing. Sadly, the bit that shows up green is not canyon and is distinctly not of interest.
It is for this reason that we have ventured off track and are investigating what there is to see off to the side (easily visible in details below).
