ARTIST’S CONCEPTION OF THE MID-PACIFIC MOUNTAINS If the Pacific Ocean were drained away, the mile-deep sunken islands would emerge as truncated volcanic cones.

The image is a screenshot of a webpage titled "The Rock H. Currier Digital Library." It features a header menu with options such as "Library Home," "Bookshelves," "View by Type," "Using Search," "Administration," and "Add a new Reference." Below that, there is a search bar with dropdown options for selecting search types. A welcome message reads, "Welcome to the Rock H. Currier Digital Library," explaining that the library serves as a reference archive supporting the work in building mindat.org and offering links to original publishers where possible. Beneath the message, there is a "Latest Downloads" section with images of reference documents and their titles/authors listed below. Some examples include: A reference in Russian authored by several individuals in 2024 titled "Инженерная геология [Engineering geology]." A reference from Paul H. Reitan titled "The geology of the Komagfjord tectonic window of the Raipas site, Finnmark, Norway" published in 1963. Other geology-related reports from various authors, including geological surveys from Norway (NGU). The layout is organized with clickable items and icons that indicate whether a PDF is available for download.
