The Arctic, topographic map. This map is centred on the North Pole, with Greenland (white) at centre left, North America at left, and Eurasia at right. The seabed depth varies from shallow (light blue) on the continental shelves, to deep ocean basins (dark blue). The Pacific Ocean (top) contains the deepest point in the world's oceans. Highlands and lowlands of the continents are shown as ridges and flat areas. Topographic and bathymetric data is usually gathered by using aerial and satellite imagery combined with radar and sonar mapping.
