Swashbuckling Seafloor Visualizations
© 1996-present, Dawn Wright

These are screen captures of various 3-dimensional scenes created by Dawn Wright with the "Fledermaus" package of Interactive Visualization Systems. Most of the data for the scenes were collected during the Boomerang 8 cruise to the Tonga Forearc and Trench in the SW Pacific between Fiji and Samoa in 1996. Other data are from the East Pacific Rise. Vertical exaggeration is denoted by "ve". These images are proprietary. Please enjoy them during your visit but if you want to download and use them please contact Dawn.
