I just mentioned to Judi that fortunately, the Argentine shelf is very wide- such that the depth at that point should be no more than 400 ft.

The site of where it was last pinpointed is roughly where the d is on 'Rivadavia' on the map.

I should also note that the British Naval Base on the Falklands has volunteered to help find the sub, which if successful will hopefully help British-Argentine relations considerably - especially because the Falklands issue among Argentine voters has faded considerably over time already, from what I gather.

Thanks again!
