An interactive map lets you explore ocean depths, named undersea features, and the land that would be exposed at lower sea levels.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.
For
Map explorers and readers curious about ocean depths
Worth noticing
Its sea-level control is explicitly a uniform “bathtub model,” not a simulation of real ocean drainage.

Field notes

The page pairs the interactive map with a depth key, search, and controls to embed the map or download an image. Its accompanying figures compare average and maximum depth across the five oceans, and it explains that areas and averages are calculated within Natural Earth ocean outlines. Depths come from the GEBCO_2026 grid; the page cautions that much of the deep-ocean grid is inferred from satellite measurements and that the displayed tiles smooth narrow features.
