How to read the map. Darker blue is deeper water. Tap anywhere to see how deep the sea is there, or how high the land is, and the nearest named undersea feature. Depths come from the GEBCO_2026 grid, which in most of the deep ocean is predicted from satellite measurements of the sea surface rather than surveyed by ship, and the map’s tiles are coarser than the grid, so narrow trenches read shallower on the map than their true depth. Not for navigation.

Corsair Canyon is a submarine canyon. In the GEBCO grid it reaches 762 m below sea level. That figure is the depth in the grid at its listed centre point, so a typical depth for the feature, not its deepest or shallowest point. The nearest country in our list is Canada, about 235 km from its listed point.

How deep is the Corsair Canyon?

The grid figure is 762 m. We measured it as the depth in the grid at its listed centre point, so a typical depth for the feature, not its deepest or shallowest point. The GEBCO_2026 grid has a value every 15 arc-seconds, about 460 m at the equator, so a very narrow feature can be a little deeper or shallower in reality than any grid cell shows.

Wikidata has no depth figure for this feature, so the grid is our only source for it.

Among the 173 submarine canyons in our list it ranks 123th by depth. The list is the named features on Wikidata with a position at sea, so it is not every submarine canyon in the world.

About submarine canyons

Submarine canyons are steep valleys cut into the continental slope, often by rivers of sediment-laden water that flow downhill under the sea.

This site lists 173 submarine canyons, 27 of them with their own indexed page. See all undersea features.

Nearby undersea features

Distances are between listed points. A long feature such as a trench or ridge has a single listed point on Wikidata.
