  abstract = {{O}ffshore {E}cuador, the {C}arnegie {R}idge is a volcanic ridge with a carbonate sediment drape. {D}uring the {SALIERI} {C}ruise, multibeam bathymetry was collected across {C}arnegie {R}idge with the {S}imrad {EM}120 of the {R}/{V} {SONNE}. {T}he most conspicuous features discovered on the {C}arnegie {R}idge are fields of circular closed depressions widely distributed along the mid-slope of the northern and southern flanks of the ridge between 1500 and 2600 m water depth. {T}hese circular depressions are 1-4 km wide and typically 100-400 m deep. {M}ost are flat floored and some are so densely packed that they form a honeycomb pattern. {T}he depressions were carved into the ridge sedimentary blanket, which consists of carbonate sediment and has been dated from upper {M}iocene to upper {P}leistocene. {S}everal hypotheses including pockmark origin, sediment creeping, paleo-topography of the volcanic basement, effects of subbottom currents, and both marine and subaerial karstic origins are discussed. {W}e believe that underwater dissolution process merits the most serious consideration regarding the origin of the closed depression.},
