Seafloor topographic map of area adjactent to New Britain Trench.
Approximate surface projection on Pacific Ocean of New Britain Trench (blue).
The New Britain Trench (also known as Bougainville-New Britain Trench or New Britain-Solomon Trench)[1] has formed due to subduction of the floor of the Solomon Sea and has some of the highest current seismic activity in the world.[2]
The trench was discovered by the German research vessel SMS Planet, in 1910.[3]
