On a clear day, though, a person standing at sea level can see a little less than three miles across the ocean. You can see farther if you go higherâat the highest altitude on Little Diomede (919 feet), you can see for about 37 miles. (Between mid-December and mid-June, when the water between the two islands freezes, an intrepid explorer can just walk from one to the other.)
But itâs not quite the full story: in some ways, we have come much further than âfive percent mappedâ, but in other ways we still have far to go. It all comes down to what we mean by âexploredâ, and how we map the ocean floor. So letâs examine some of the facts behind the â95 percent unexploredâ meme and those comparisons with our celestial neighbours. The entire ocean floor has now been mapped at up to ~5 km resolution, which means we can see most features larger than ~5 km across in those maps.
