Here's a really cool bathymetric map of the entire North Atlantic. This map is generated by NOAA, but I found it on the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) website, to visit the site click here.
The dark blue areas represent primary regions of upwelling. Click on the map to visit the UN Ocean Atlas source website.
