A massive mapping operation in the Southern Ocean is wrapping up scientists creating the most precise depiction of the area yet

It covers 48 million square kilometres and even stretches right down to the sea floor’s deepest point.

At 7,432 metres below sea level, this depression is dubbed the Factorian Deep.

The map will be of great assistance to those who traverse the ocean while also helping us gauge a better understanding of the Earth’s climate and geological history.

The seafloor influences the behaviour of ocean currents and the information can be used to improve models forecasting future climate change.

After all, it’s actually oceans that play the major role in moving heat around the planet.

While we still have much to learn this project and others like it around the world are gradually filling in the gaps.
