Map of the Mediterranean Sea floor (2023)

This map was published Erwan Rivault in 2023 as part of the initiative #30DayMapChallenge.

This minimalist representation shows the depth of the different regions of the Mediterranean Sea. The shallowness of the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Sicily is particularly striking. It is also interesting to note the difference in depth between the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, which is much deeper.

You can find more information about the initiative here. #30DayMapChallenge in what I wrote in the newsletter.
