Primary navigational control for this survey was by Loran-C supplemented by satellite navigation. Accuracy of location of the navigation fixes is estimated to be better than 100 meters.
All available imagery were used to create this mosaic. Data were acquired during several cruises using the 6.5 kHz GLORIA sidescan-sonar system and a 45 km total swath width.
