Too bad there’s not a legend with this image so we can know exactly how deep each of these regions are, and how steep the dropoff is at the edge of the coastal shelf.
It is hard to find images like this which show the topographic features of not just the land but also the sea off the coast, but it it interesting to see what the Earth really looks like in this area even beyond the shore.
