The outstanding feature of the floor of the Atlantic Ocean is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an immense median mountain range extending throughout the length of the Atlantic, claiming the center third of the ocean bed and reaching roughly 1,000 miles (1,600 km) in breadth. In some places the Mid-Atlantic Ridge reaches above sea level to form islands.
