Hello,

I'm looking for a shaded relief map of the floor of the Earth's oceans. Someone gave me a link to an NOASS site but none of the mpas they had were true-color, they were all topographical. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jeffrey

How would you know what true colour was?

Meaning, not with different colors representing different depths.

I assume the oceanbottom surface isn't red or purple.

The National Geographic Society? I'm sure that I've seen such a map included with the monthly magazine.

I'd have to get a subscription then, right? I'm right now just looking for the map.

As a matter of fact much of the deep ocean floor is red.
