Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 1, Pg. 29:
ABE can image the seafloor in a variety of ways on a variety of scales. A bathymetric map from the Lau Basin off Fiji (shown here) covers an area of about 0.6 by 0.37 miles (1 by 0.6 kilometers), showing mounds, fissures, and hydrothermal vent spires with a resolution of about 3 feet (1 meter). A photomosaic of a smaller area from the same region (not shown here) shows geological details and individual animals, such as clams, mussels, and snails.
