Humans have sailed the ceans’ surfaces fr millennia（千年）, but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only abut a quarter f the seaflr has been mapped at high reslutin. Maps f mst regins display nly apprximate depths and ften miss entire underwater muntains r canyns（峡谷）.
S a grup f researchers has recruited sme deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers n these blubbery marine mammals arund Antarctica fr years, gathering data n cean temperature and salinity. Fr a new study, the researchers cmpared these dives’ lcatin and depth data with sme f the less detailed seaflr maps. They sptted places where the seals dve deeper than shuld have been pssible accrding t the maps--meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater canyn. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the canyn’s exact depth using snar, and the researchers have prpsed naming their find the Mirunga-Nuyina Canyn—hnring bth the ship and the invlved Elephant Seals, genus（动植物的属）Mirunga.
But seals can’t map the entire cean flr. The trackers used in the study culd pinpint a seal’s gegraphical lcatin nly within abut 1.5miles. Plus, because the seals dn’t always dive t the bttm f the cean, they can reveal nly where the bttm is deeper than in existing maps—nt shallwer. McMahn ntes that scientists culd imprve n these data by using mre precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns t determine whether they have reached the seaflr r simply stpped descending.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable fr an imprtant task, says Anna Wåhlin, an ceangrapher. The deep cean arund Antarctica is warmer than the frigid waters at the surface, and seaflr canyns can allw that warmer water t flw t the ice alng the cntinent’s cast, Wåhlin explains. T predict hw Antarctica’s ice will melt, scientists will need t knw where thse canyns are and hw deep they g.

33．Hw did the researchers cnduct the study?
A．By bserving the seals.B．By. cmparing different data.
C．By using advanced equipment.D．By analyzing the existing maps.
34．What des the underlined wrds “their find” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A．The canyn.B．The ship.C．The seals.D．The genus.
