I can't figure out how to get FlyerTalk's forum software to not gag on this monster URL as an inserted link, but this paper below has more interesting info about that. The images of the slide debris relative to the islands are pretty impressive.
Oops, looks like that URL was behind a paywall. It worked when accessed via Google's search results, but it seems to have expired.
Let's try again with a
link to a PDF version of the paper.
A very nice
color bathymetry image showing the slides is available from the USGS as well.
