Okay, so this week's Seafloor Sunday isn't really the sea -- it's from a lake in the Italian Alps called Lago Maggiore. The image here is just a small part of this nearly 70 km long alpine lake that I'm assuming has a glacial origin. The high-resolution bathymteric image is from a gallery on the Dynamic Solutions website, a company that provides various engineering and mapping services.
The area shown here is an arm of the lake near the town of Gravellona Toce. The red colors are shallower water and the blue-purple colors are deeper water (a couple hundred meters in this case). Note the aligned features on the lake bed near the shoreline that look like bedforms. Can't say for sure that's what those are, but they sure look like it. Reminds me of the features in the Puyallup Delta of the Puget Sound in Washington State.
