Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 49, No. 1, page 47:
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge undersea mountain range covers about half the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. Its flanks are lined with thousands of deep canyons like the one shown here. Data from this canyon show a strong current flowing uphill along the canyon floor. Scientists think there are similar currents in many other seafloor canyons.
