Found this on the Guardian Online:

The Internet's Undersea World

Nice little map that. Would be betting if it was a little higher resolution though.

I number of years ago, I found an interesting article on Wired.com on how FLAG (The cable that got severed) was built.

Wired 4.12: Mother Earth Mother Board

It is Loooog (56 pages), but a good read, and full of interesting anecdotes so if you have a few hours I encourage you to read it, or do like I do and read in in installments while you are waiting for stuff to compile or the like.

Man, that is one long rambling discourse.
