Most of the depths within the area of figure 2 are between 2 600 and 3 800 metres. West of 83 °W the grain of the topography ( the trend of the ridges and troughs) is east-west as seen by the correlation of some of the larger features across several north-south traverses. This is consistent with the observation that the topography along the north-south tracklines shows more peaks and deeps than that along east-west lines ( the north-south lines have a shorter topographic "wavelength"). However, most of the smaller peaks and deeps cannot be correlated across the north-south lines showing that they lose their identity (for example, by bifurcating or merging with other ridges and troughs) over the spacing of the tracklines. 604.
