29°N
Three-dimensional perspective view of side-scan sonar data mapped on to a color bathymetric surface for a portion of the inner valley floor of a spreading segment near 25° N at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The area of the image is 15 kilometers east to west and 22 kilometers north to south. The morphological center of this segment is a topographic low filled with smooth-textured flows that are extensively fissured and faulted. Isolated volcanic features sit strati-graphically on top of the smooth flows.
