Abstract: 

Four large-scale bathymetric maps of the Southern East Pacific Rise and its flanks between 15 degrees S and 19 degrees S display many of the unique features of this superfast spreading environment including abundant seamounts (the Rano Rahi Field), axial discontinuities, discontinuity migration,and abyssal hill variation. Along with a summary of the regional geology, these maps will provide a valuable reference for other sea-going programs on- and off-axis in this area, including the Mantle ELectromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) experiment.
