Submarine Tableland Found in Bay of Biscay
In the Bay of Biscay off Corunna Spain an enormous submarine tableland was located just 150 feet below sea level by the French naval transport Loiret, 125 miles east northeast of Cape Ortegal. Soundings showed depths of 126 to 150 feet at the spot while charts indicated 15,500 feet, suggesting seismic activity may have raised the feature and tied to recent European Atlantic tidal waves. Observations date May 23 with a Brittany Penmarch tide and a Japan earthquake noted.
