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. 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.
