Silver Pit, Underwater valley formation in the North Sea, United Kingdom.
The Silver Pit extends 45 kilometers east of Spurn Head as a deep channel carved into the seabed of the North Sea.
During the last Ice Age, this formation developed as a tunnel valley when the Wash River maintained a path through periglacial deposits.
Nineteenth-century trawler fishermen from England's South Coast discovered this underwater valley while searching for winter flatfish populations.
The location between Dogger Bank and Norfolk-Friesland ridge presents valuable opportunities for marine research and fishing activities.
Seismic investigations reveal concentric rings surrounding the formation, suggesting complex geological processes in its development.
