The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) is a publicly available bathymetric chart of the world's oceans. The project was conceived with the aim of preparing a global series of charts showing the general shape of the seafloor. Over the years it has become a reference map of the bathymetry of the world's oceans for scientists and others.
A bathymetric chart is a type of isarithmic map that depicts the submerged bathymetry and physiographic features of ocean and sea bottoms. [1] Their primary purpose is to provide detailed depth contours of ocean topography as well as provide the size, shape and distribution of underwater features.

IBCSO is a joint project by the International Hydrographic Organization, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans and the Seabed 2030 Project. The project aims to identify and pool all Bathymetry data in the Southern Ocean and use that data to produce gridded bathymetric maps of the seafloor.

Bathymetric globe produced by Marie Tharp and Bruce Heezen Manuscript map created by Tharp and Heezen depicting the early developments of the understanding of the ocean's bottom (1957) Marie Tharp (July 30, 1920 – August 23, 2006) was an American geologist and oceanographic cartographer.
Bathymetry map of the North Atlantic Ocean showing the full extent of the Charlie-Gibbs fracture zone (horizontal black lines in the center of the image) The Charlie-Gibbs fracture zone consists of two fracture zones in the North Atlantic that extend for over 2000 km. These fracture zones displace the Mid-Atlantic Ridge a total of 350 km to the ...
The ocean is the body of salt water that covers approximately 70.8% of Earth. [8] In English, the term ocean also refers to any of the large bodies of water into which the world ocean is conventionally divided. [9] The following names describe five different areas of the ocean: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic/Southern, and Arctic.
