A SEA SERPENT OF COLOSSAL DIMENSIONS, AND UNKNOWN (GEOLOGICAL) SPECIES. As the crow flies, the Monterey Canyon snakes out upon California's continental shelf and the Pacific Plate for about 95 miles (152.9 k). Which is impressive enough as it is. But when measured along its entire twisting course trajectory, it actually extends over 300 miles (482.8 k) along the Pacific seafloor. PSR's anthropologist and veteran diver, George Westcort: "This Monterey Canyon enigma can burrow deep within one's psyche. As deep as the Canyon itself. I'm obsessed with it. Get on Google Ocean, right over the Canyon. Zoom out, and keep zooming out. Yet the Canyon's track keeps going, and going, and going. I agree with my colleague, Steve Keppra, that at one time it was a terrestrial river hundreds of miles long. Our Neanderthal discoveries down in there just drive home what I have always suspected about this colossal geological sea serpent. It harbors profound secrets. Not only about the migratory wanderings of early humans. But the ultimate nature and purpose of plate tectonics, ice ages, climate change, and water itself."
