EmailAn underwater "Grand Canyon" has been captured in images created by a Royal Navy survey ship.
HMS Enterprise discovered the 250 metre deep canyon in the Red Sea during a nine-month mission to improve understanding of the waters east of Suez.
The 3D images were created after the ship left the Egyptian port of Safaga and were made using the Devonport-based survey ship's multibeam echo sounder.
